I haven't used coffee but used tea on my lace tablecloth. By the time I got it finished, I could see that some parts of the lace were a different shade of ecru than others, so I wetted it well, then soaked it in tepid tea solution and let it soak for a while, rinsed it some, let it dry, and redid it a couple times till I got the color I wanted. It came out beautifully.
