When I switched to black coffee I read that putting a tiny bit of salt in cuts the bitterness. It works and the amount of salt needed is so small that you don't taste it, less than a pinch.

Likewise, it enhances things like smoothies, martinis, and damn near anything with bitterness or sweetness in their profiles, generally added at levels that are not perceptible as "salty".
