  1. Try the club soda hack: Fill a spray bottle with club soda, and spritz it on the stain. Blot with the cloth, starting from the outside of the stain and working your way in. Rinse the stain with water to check if the coffee stain is fully removed. If not, move on to the method below. If the stain is gone, launder the garment.
  2. Try the boiling water method: Center the stain over a shatter-proof bowl or pot that can handle boiling water. Boil a kettle of water, then very slowly pour the water over the stain from about one foot above, starting from the outer edge of the stain and working your way in. Carefully remove the fabric (it will be hot!) and gently wring it out. Rinse the stain with water, and if it is fully removed, launder the garment. Pro tip: Make sure the stain is fully removed before you put the garment in the clothes dryer, or else the heat could end up setting the stain into the fibers.
