Barista reveals the surprising ingredient you should use in your coffee instead of sugar
A barista has revealed the secret to the perfect cup of coffee is not sugar but salt, adding a pinch of it can 'work wonders'. While most wouldn't dream of seasoning their coffee with the same condiment they put on their chips, a barista at Tri Coffee shop in South West London, Caspar King, explained that salt can transform the flavour profile of a regular cup of joe. Speaking to coffee bean retailer, Coffee Friend, Casper shared how people can make the perfect cup of java at home. He said it all begins with the beans and how they are prepared. 'Good coffee depends less on the specific drink and more on the bean quality, grind, and brewing. When it's done right, you really can taste the difference,' he said. The taste can further be elevated by adding a little bit of salt to your brew, he continued, adding the common pantry staple can 'soften' the bitterness of the beverage. 'Believe it or not, a tiny pinch of salt in the espresso can work wonders,' he said. 'Some people are more sensitive to bitterness, and salt helps soften those sharp notes. It can really open up the flavour to those who usually find coffee too harsh.' Asked what coffee drinks have risen in popularity as of late, the barista noted 'the flat white has really taken off' and that it's here to stay. 'It's a shorter drink that lets the bold espresso flavours shine through, while still giving you that creamy texture and sweetness from the milk.' While most wouldn't dream of seasoning their coffee with the same thing they put on their chips, a barista at Tri Coffee shop in South West London , Caspar King, said salt can transform the flavour profile of a regular cup of joe (Stock image) However, Caspar prefers using whole milk over plant-based alternatives to make flat whites, even though lactose and dairy-free milks have also steadily been gaining in popularity. 'Alternative milks are easily the biggest shift. Whether it's for health reasons, dietary needs, or personal preference, more people are choosing oat, almond, coconut, or soya milk. 'There's also growing interest in syrups, and colder drinks no matter what the weather - but plant-based milks are leading the way.' Some people's coffee orders have been more unusual though. Casper noted a rise in people ordering iced cappuccinos, a particularly difficult drink to master given the challenges of steaming cold milk. 'It might not sound that strange but it's tricky to make as you can't steam milk for that frothy cappuccino texture and then let it cool down. So it ends up watery and lukewarm. Plus, with foam on top and liquid underneath, it's a bit of a mismatch in experience.' It comes after a brand manager at Pimm's left fans gobsmacked after revealing the proper way to serve the British summer classic. The cocktail, Pimm's No. 1 Cup is mixed with lemonade and served with cucumber, mint, orange, and strawberrie and served in a highball glasswever. However, Zoë Hetherington, one of the company's brand managers, has now claimed the right way to drink it is from a wine glass. This means you can get a larger serving of the garnishes. The drink should also be served from a carafe, rather than a jug, according to Diageo, the parent company of Pimm's. The brand has now crafted its own line of serving sets created in collaboration with tennis-pro-turned-artist, Gabriella Taylor. Each limited-edition set contains two wine glasses and a carafe. The designs were originally hand-painted by Gabriella on canvas, then digitised and printed onto the glassware. These decorations include strawberries, mint sprigs and cucumber slices, alongside fruit-filled trophies, tennis rackets and players. The serving set, according to the brand, 'offers fans a creative way to enjoy Pimm's at home'. Gabriella's work will also be on show at Wimbledon, appearing at the 'Pimm's on The Hill' bar at The Championships. Pimms is the official cocktail of many British summertime events - including Wimbledon, the Chelsea Flower Show, and Henley Royal Regatta.

Submit meter readings before June 30 to avoid overcharge
Advice Direct Scotland, which operates the national energy advice service is warning that consumers risk being overcharged unless they act by midnight on June 30. Those with smart meters should ensure their devices are functioning correctly. Accurate readings will prevent energy suppliers from estimating usage and charging based on the old, higher prices after June 30. Read more: Drivers warned of hefty fines amid 'high number' of penalties for this mistake Discontinued Discos crisps labelled 'best to ever exist' to return after 20 years From July 1, Ofgem's cap on what suppliers can charge will be reduced from £1,849 to £1,720, a seven per cent drop which will see average annual bills fall by about £122. However, this is still £582 more than what households were paying before the energy crisis in autumn 2021. Advice Direct Scotland also advises households to check if better tariffs are available, although many of the most value-for-money deals are aimed at more affluent customers or those with a smart meter. The next cap update will be announced by Ofgem in August, with forecasts indicating a further fall. Despite the drop, the charity warns that many people are still struggling with record levels of debt. Conor Forbes, policy director at Advice Direct Scotland, said: "Lower gas and electricity prices will come as a relief for households, but bills remain significantly higher than they were before the energy crisis began. "It's important to submit meter readings before the new price cap comes into force, to prevent being overcharged. "Struggling customers should know they do not have to suffer in silence. "Our expert team is on hand for anyone who needs help, no matter their circumstances. "However, a longer-term solution to the scourge of fuel poverty is a UK-wide social energy tariff, which would automatically put vulnerable people on the cheapest deals." Advisers can be contacted at or on freephone 0808 196 8660, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
