Forty Pounds of Coffee
A forty-pound order at a Toronto coffee tasting introduced Scott Wilson to coffee enemas and started the questions that became his life’s work.
Chapter summary
The concise reading
Scott recounts the late-1997 exchange at The Big Carrot that led him to ask why coffee was used, whether the bean and roast mattered, and what the preparation was meant to do. It establishes the book’s path from personal story, through evidence, to practical instruction.
“It started with forty pounds of coffee and a woman who wasn’t going to drink it.”
