Yes, you need to strain it.

Some companies sell instant (water soluble) coffee for detoxing but please see the article on our website about the problems you can run into when using instant coffee.

Most folks brew the coffee and then let it cool to at least body temperature. Next they pour it into a clean vessel, straining it through a very fine sieve or muslin cloth while doing so.

If you don’t strain the coffee the coffee residue can collect at the bottom of your enema bucket/bag and clog the hole where the enema hose fits. Also don’t use a paper filter as it can trap important ingredients like palmitic acid, ingredients you need for a thorough detox.

Yes, the coffee is light roasted. 

It is purpose roasted so that it preserves all the chemicals so important in the detox process. Unlike drinking coffee which is light to very dark brown, Robusta Health coffee is golden/tan in color.

This is a natural product and there can be slight variations in color from batch to batch

As with so many things in life, it depends. A tablespoon of the coffee weighs 8 grams on our scale. We have seen many recipes for making the coffee enema solution. Some call for 1 tablespoon, some call for 2, others 3. The Gerson recipe calls for 3 tablespoons of coffee.

So as you can see, we are all different in this world and the same dose of a particular thing can affect 50 different people in 50 different ways. We have even gotten feedback from a customer who is VERY SENSITIVE to caffeine who says they only use 1 TEASPOON of coffee in their enema solution (3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon).

This is one reason we always recommend that users of Robusta Health carry out their detoxing program under the supervision of a health care professional. They know your situation on a first-hand basis and can advise your accordingly.

Many of the practitioners we know are cautiously conservative. They start with a small amount of coffee in the enema solution and then build up until the dose that is best for the individual is arrived at.

All that said, if a person uses 3 tablespoons of coffee to make a 1 liter enema (according to the Gerson recipe) they should get about 19 enemas out of a 454g bag.

That’s certainly an open ended question since it depends on the specific treatment a person is using, and on the person themselves.

Gerson therapy folks typically do 5 enemas a day, 3 tablespoons of coffee per enema (according to the Gerson enema recipe). Figuring 8 grams of coffee per tablespoon that’s 120 grams of coffee per day and the Gerson therapy can take two years or more to complete. You can do the math and see what your coffee needs will be.

Many customers do a maintenance detox cleanse once a week or every 10 days so that’s approximately 90 to 120 grams of detox coffee used per month.

Others are dieting or are on a physical rejuvenation regimen. These folks are usually doing one enema per day until they reach their health goals and then change to maintenance mode which is determined by how they feel and what they’re doing.

All that said, the best way to know is to consult your health care professional to guide your use of coffee enemas.

This is simple chemistry. The coffee contains chlorogenic acid. There is no chlorine in the coffee but the name is taken from the Greek which means ‘light green’ and ‘give rise to’. So what happens is that when the coffee oxidizes (is exposed to a lot of air/oxygen) it can turn green.

The good news is that it cleans up easily and if spilled on towels and clothing washes away in your washing machine.
