Kitchen Experiment: coffee staining wood
Step one: brew strong coffee.
Apply in various ways:
Method 1: plain coffee to wood
Result: nothing
Method 2: coffee and milk
Result: a very light stain
Method 3: rub warm grounds into wood
Result: light "muddy" stain
Method 4: cold grounds and vegetable oil
Result: light stain. but I think it was more from the oil than the coffee
Conclusion: coffee will make a light stain if it's mixed with milk.
Follow up: would a coffee infused oil work better than milk? Expect results in 3-6 weeks.
