To make a perfect cup of coffee every time you need:
™
- A Drip coffee maker
- A Stainless steel or gold mesh coffee filter, brown unbleached paper if you are insistent on paper
- A stash of vinegar and baking soda for cleaning
- A good quality whole bean coffee bean not the 1.99 a pound kind
- Fresh clean filtered water
- 30 minutes of you time (start to finish)
If you want a perfect cup of coffee, instant is not going to be in your vocabulary. To make an absolute unadulterated cup of coffee you need a little time and a few essential ingredients.
First off, almost any drip coffee maker will work. The 19.99 one all the way to the 99.99 ones all do the same thing. They heat the water and siphon it over coffee grounds. As the water is soaked into the coffee, picking up the flavor it is then drained through a filter into a glass pot. Honestly the coffee pot is not what makes the cup of coffee. If what you are looking for is the best tasting cup of coffee for your money and time, here is how to do it yourself.
A clean glass coffee pot is what you need to start off with. To clean this well, you need to place about ¼ cup of baking soda into the glass pot and with your fingers add a few drops of water. Use your fingers to spread the baking soda all over the pot, up the sides and such. After you have used this as a mild abrasive, add 1 cup of vinegar. Swirl and swish allowing the baking soda and vinegar to bubble away. Next, use a clean cloth to wash the inside of the glass pot. Now, rinse well under hot water. When you think it has been thoroughly rinsed, give it one more good rinse. We are trying to make sure our pot is clean with no residues of soaps, coffee oils, or vinegar and baking soda. A clean pot will make a lot of difference. No more washing the pot once a week, or just running it under the water and calling it good.
Second step to a great cup of coffee is the filter you use. Most of us buy the cheap white 150 for 1.25 coffee filters. Why are they cheap? Because, they are not good. Not only are they paper, but they add chlorine and bleach, and starches to your coffee. How are you supposed to have a good cup of coffee if you add those things to it. I recommend a metal strainer. Gold mesh or stainless steel is good. These are a little more expensive, but are not disposable so you can reuse them for a good long time. Average cost for these run 12.99-19.99. Clean these the same as the coffee pot. Rinse well!
Third step to a great cup of coffee is using good filtered water. I am not saying you need to use bottled water. But getting a Brita filter and college Station TX coffee filtering your water before brewing will take the extra minerals and chlorine and any other extras often found in tap water. Since coffee is mainly water that is heated and flavored doesn't it make sense to use good quality clean water?
And of course the last step to a great cup of coffee is using a good whole bean coffee. No, coffee that is sitting on the shelf at Safeway will not do. You need to buy coffee beans from a good small company that buys their coffee in small batches, that are roasted daily or weekly. Only then can you be sure that the coffee you are getting is fresh. Choosing coffee this way runs about $12 a pound. But remember this is whole bean, you are getting a lot of coffee for the price. Grinding your own coffee bean at home is the best way to assure your very own perfect cup of coffee.
One more tip, do not reheat your brewed coffee, or leave it on for hours and hours. Brew only enough coffee that you will drink within the hour or so. Reheating and micro waving coffee just breaks the coffee down even faster. Yes, coffee does break down. When this happens you end up with a strong, sour taste. Not the perfect cup if you ask me. How do you brew just a few cups of coffee at a time? For every 6 ounces of water you add to your pot, add only 2 tablespoons of fresh ground coffee beans to the filter. When putting the ground coffee beans into the filter make sure it is level and spread evenly across the bottom of the filter. This assures even brewing. You now have no excuse to not enjoy your own perfect cup of coffee.
The coffee enema has been used for cleansing and detoxifying the body for thousands of years. It's use dates back about 4000 years to the time of the Hindu Vedas, the oldest known medical text book, and since then it has been used in virtually every ancient culture as a means of cleansing and purifying the body. The ancient Greeks, Chinese, Romans and Sumerians have all described cleansing of the bowel using the enema.
Hippocrates the father of modern medicine (400BC) described the enema as useful way to clean the intestines. His writings were used in many medical text books and the enema was a popular medical treatment for numerous health conditions. In the 17th Century the enema was very popular, and most households kept an enema kit handy. In fact it was common for many people to have three to four enemas a day.
Dr Harvey Kellogg in the 1900's was famous for his health retreat where he helped many thousands of people heal from all sorts of health conditions using mainly diet, exercise and enemas. He was reported to have successfully treated over 40,000 people with his simple yet powerful therapies. In fact he was quoted as saying that he believed that over 90% of all diseases that affect humans were related to a malfunctioning colon, and they could be reversed by proper nutrition, exercise and with the regular use of enemas to clean the colon.
What Is a Coffee Enema and How Does it Work?
A coffee enema is a way of introducing water containing coffee into the rectum. This does not have the same effect as drinking coffee orally. The veins in the rectum are very close to the wall of the tissue, hence the coffee is taken up into the veins much easier and in much higher concentration than when it is taken orally. It is then take directly to the liver by the portal circulation.
When it reaches the liver the coffee and its metabolites (theophylline and theobromine) has a two-fold effect: firstly it acts to stimulate the liver detoxification enzymes which causes an increase in the blood detoxification, and secondly it causes the bile ducts to open fully and to release more bile. The liver is responsible for clearing the blood of most of the toxins and poisons it contains and if the liver is not able to do this function well, a build-up of toxins will flood your body leading to illness and disease.
The coffee enema when properly used can lead to a large boost in the function of the liver detox enzymes (glutathione and superoxide dismutase) which directly leads to cleaner blood and a healthier body. Also as the coffee enema causes more bile to be produced and more bile to flow through the bile ducts, a toxic liver can purge large amounts of toxins through the bile rapidly to detoxify the body of large volumes of toxins. This can give rapid relief to all the body and can often lead to a feeling of wellness and relief, especially for someone who is heavily burdened with toxins and disease.
How Can You Do A Coffee Enema
To perform a coffee enema you need the following enema equipment:
An enema bag with enema nozzle, pure organic coffee (preferably raw coffee), pure distilled or reverse osmosis water, lubricant (oil or vaseline), a quiet clean area where you can be alone and will not be disturbed, and which has a tile or timber floor (in case of leakage!), a towel, tissues or toilet paper, a watch or clock, and some relaxing music or a book.
After you have boiled the pure organic coffee for a few minutes on the stove, simmer it for 5 minutes on low heat. Then allow it to cool. You will need to add some more cool distilled or reverse osmosis water to the coffee mixture to make sure it is at body temperature. Filter the coffee to make sure there are no solid bits of coffee in the mixture, then pour it into the enema bag with the enema nozzle outlet clamped closed. You will need to fill it up to the 1 liter mark.
Place a towel on the floor where you will perform the procedure, and have some pillows ready to support your head.
Lay on your right side and then lubricate the tip of the enema tube and also your anal region with some lubricant. Take a deep breath and insert the tip of the tube into your rectum, no more than 3 inches.
After it is inserted you can then slowly open the clamp to allow the coffee mixture to flow into your rectum. But please do this slowly as if too much fluid is released too quickly you may feel spasms and you will not be able to hold the coffee for the required time.
As you slowly insert the coffee mixture, it is a good idea to stop and pause as you feel the pressure build up and then gently massage the lower left side of your abdomen to allow the coffee to flow past the bend in your colon here known as the sigmoid flexure.
After all the coffee has been inserted into your colon you should try to hold the fluid for 12-15 minutes. This may not be possible the first time you do the enema, but with practice you will be able to build up to this slowly. Keep massaging your abdomen whilst you are waiting for the time to elapse. You can roll over onto your back after several minutes on your side, and continue the massaging.
Focus on your breathing as the urge to release the content of your bowels start to overwhelm you, and try to hold for at least 12 minutes. After a maximum of 15 minutes you can then go to the toilet and release your bowel contents. As you do this it is best to squat with your feel on the toilet seat so that your thighs are pressed up against your abdomen. This supports your colon and prevents a prolapse or weaknesses in the colon wall from occurring (which can lead to diverticular disease and other problems).
I include a raw organic coffee enema as part of my whole body detoxification program, as I believe this enema is one of the most powerful ways to detoxify your liver, which in turn acts to clean your blood from many toxins. This whole body detox program effectively cleans the whole body from toxins and chemicals and is the ultimate way to purify your body. This is the most powerful medical program for completely cleansing your body of all the toxins (both internal and external) you accumulated in your tissues over the years which are causing you illness and disease and are likely leading to premature aging and degeneration.
