The text states that coffee with salt was a very popular drink in the 18th century.

The evidence reviewed does not support the claim that coffee with salt was a very popular drink in the 18th century. The references discuss the widespread popularity of coffee itself during the 18th century, particularly in the Netherlands, but do not mention the addition of salt or it being a popular custom. No reliable source confirms the specific practice of adding salt to coffee was significant during this time. Therefore, the claim lacks supporting evidence.
