The short answer
Measure carefully, keep the flow gentle, and never force the procedure.
The basic preparation uses three rounded tablespoons of finely ground organic coffee in four cups of distilled or properly filtered water. Boil for three to five minutes, cover and simmer for fifteen to twenty minutes, strain through a fine-mesh sieve, restore the final volume to four cups, and cool to approximately body temperature.
What you’ll need
- Three rounded tablespoons of finely ground organic coffee.
- Four cups of distilled or properly filtered water, plus a little extra.
- A clean non-aluminium pot with a lid, measuring tools, timer, fine-mesh sieve, and heat-safe container.
- A purpose-made enema bag or bucket with tubing, controllable clamp, and appropriate tip.
- Compatible lubricant intended for rectal use, towels or a waterproof pad, and a thermometer when needed.
- A private place near a toilet and the cleaning supplies recommended by the equipment manufacturer.
Part one
Prepare the coffee
- Measure. Put four cups of distilled or properly filtered water in a clean non-aluminium pot. Add three rounded tablespoons of finely ground organic coffee and stir.
- Boil. Bring the mixture to a boil for three to five minutes, stirring occasionally and watching that it doesn’t boil over.
- Simmer. Reduce the heat, cover the pot, and simmer for fifteen to twenty minutes.
- Cool and strain. Remove it from the heat, allow it to cool, and strain through a fine-mesh sieve. The very fine silt that passes through is intentional.
- Restore the volume. Add enough distilled or properly filtered water to bring the final volume back to four cups.
- Check the temperature. Mix the solution so the temperature is even and bring it to approximately body temperature. Never use it hot.
Part two
Set up and use a gentle flow
- Wash your hands and inspect the equipment. Replace tubing or containers that are cracked, sticky, discoloured, leaking, rough, or impossible to clean.
- Close the clamp, add the intended first portion, then briefly run solution through the tubing to remove obvious air. Close the clamp again.
- Place the bag or bucket 18 to 24 inches above where you’re lying. Don’t raise it higher to force a faster flow.
- Lie on your right side with both knees drawn comfortably toward the abdomen. Lubricate the tip and insert it gently, only as directed by its manufacturer.
- Open the clamp slowly. If ordinary cramping begins, slow or stop the flow and allow it to settle. Never push against pain or resistance.
- Close the clamp when the intended portion has entered comfortably and remove the tip gently.
- Retain for approximately twelve to fifteen minutes when comfortable, then use the toilet. Release sooner when you need to.
Stop conditions
Stop for a clear warning from the body.
Stop and seek appropriate medical help for severe or increasing pain, significant bleeding, a suspected burn, fainting, confusion, chest pain, difficulty breathing, a racing or irregular heartbeat, or symptoms that are severe, unusual, or don’t settle.
People with significant bowel or rectal disease, recent surgery, serious kidney, heart, liver, immune, fluid-balance, or electrolyte problems—and anyone pregnant, frail, very young, undergoing cancer treatment, or seriously ill—should obtain qualified guidance before beginning.
Afterward
Clean the equipment promptly according to the manufacturer’s directions, rinse it thoroughly, and let every part dry completely. Don’t share equipment. Record the coffee, preparation time, temperature, volume, retention time, and any difficulty when those details would help explain a different experience next time.

Why this page exists
“Basic Coffee Enema Procedure and Recipe” was the first page Scott A. Wilson placed online and, for years, the most-clicked page on the S.A. Wilson’s website. That early page credited Dr. Sherry Rogers and her 1994 book Wellness Against All Odds. This updated page paraphrases the practical sequence presented in Scott’s forthcoming book and incorporates his experience answering preparation questions since 1998.
This is general educational information, not an individualized prescription. A defined program, qualified practitioner, and the equipment manufacturer’s current directions take precedence.
