Salt

If you are going to deal with an older stain, you may need to spray a bit of water to soften the stain and sprinkle salt on top of it. Salt will draw both the water and the coffee out of the carpet, making the stain much lighter in color. After then vacuum the leftover salt from the carpet. For better result, you can also mix white vinegar with salt in equal proportions and rub the spot area with the sponge.
