Coffee Is for Sipping, Not for Enemas. Seriously, Let’s Get Back to What Coffee’s Really About
Let’s talk about something I never thought we’d need to address on a coffee blog:
Coffee enemas.
Yep, apparently this is a thing again. A growing number of TikTok creators are promoting the idea that shooting coffee up your rear is the latest health hack, claiming it “detoxes your liver,” boosts energy, or gives you glowing skin. Some even call it “a spiritual experience.”
And look, I love coffee. I’ve built my life around it. But I draw the line at brewing it just to send it where the sun doesn’t shine.
At Win Win Coffee, we believe coffee is sacred. It’s meant to be savored, shared, and sipped, not squirted.
So… Why Are People Doing This?
The coffee enema trend isn’t exactly new. It’s been floating around (no pun intended) in wellness circles since the 1930s, made popular by questionable “detox” therapies and Hollywood’s obsession with colon cleansing.
Now, with TikTok giving everyone a platform, we’re seeing people posting DIY tutorials like it’s some kind of coffee evolution. Spoiler: It’s not.
According to actual medical experts including very serious doctors who’ve weighed in, your rectum is not designed for coffee. It can cause cramps, burns, dehydration, and even damage to your colon if done improperly. There’s no proven health benefit. Just a lot of discomfort and potentially expensive ER visits.
So if you’re looking to feel better, have more energy, and reset your body, maybe start with something a little less… invasive?
Let’s Get Back to Real Coffee Wellness
Here’s the thing: coffee already does amazing things, when you drink it the normal way.
That first cup in the morning? It wakes you up gently, helps your brain start firing, and (let’s be honest) keeps most of us civil before 9 AM. Studies have shown moderate coffee consumption is linked to improved mood, better focus, and even a lower risk of certain diseases. No tubes or funnels required.
We’ve seen it firsthand.
One of our customers, Lauren from Chicago, recently told us she switched from sugary energy drinks to our light roast “Daily Drip”, and it completely changed her routine. “I actually look forward to mornings now,” she said. “It’s not just about the caffeine, it’s the whole vibe. The smell, the sound of the brew, the moment of peace.”
That’s the wellness ritual we believe in.
Three Ways to Actually Enjoy Coffee (No Enema Required)
If you're into taking care of your body and want to enjoy the health benefits of coffee without risk, here are three safer, and way more enjoyable, alternatives:
1. Brew it fresh and clean.
Use freshly ground beans and filtered water. You’d be amazed how much better your coffee tastes when your equipment and water quality are on point.
2. Switch to organic.
If you’re worried about toxins, opt for certified organic beans like the ones we offer at Win Win Coffee. Our beans are roasted in small batches and tested for mold and pesticides, no colon cleanse necessary.
3. Create a mindful coffee ritual.
Instead of rushing or guzzling, turn your coffee time into a moment of self-care. Light a candle, open a book, or sit by the window. Let your brew be your reset button, not a stunt.
What Coffee Should Be
We know the internet is full of wild advice. But we’re here to bring coffee back to what it’s always been: a moment of joy, a comforting ritual, and a bridge between people.
From cozy mornings to late-night chats, campfire mugs to café catch-ups, coffee is part of how we connect, with ourselves and with others.
So please, for the love of your colon, and for the sake of every small-batch roaster out there, keep your coffee where it belongs: in a cup, in your hands, and in your heart.
