Wash the object or clothing in cold water if the coffee was just spilled. This should take care of the stain. Dab the stain with a wet paper towel. Don't rub the coffee, as this will spread the stain, worsening the problem.

Apply vinegar to the stain. Vinegar is a great natural stain remover, and can be effective once the stain has settled. Depending on how bad the stain is, use the vinegar full-strength or dilute it with water. You can either apply the vinegar to the stain with a paper towel or soak the object in the vinegar and rinse with cold water.
