Aromatic, dark brown liquid prepared from the aqueous extract of the seeds of several species of the genus Coffea, particularly C. arabica. Coffee is used as a beverage and as a brown dye. On wool, it produces a dark yellow-tan color with a chrome mordant and a tan with an aluminum mordant. Both colors have fair light fastness. Coffee colors on cotton are not fast. Some restorers have used coffee to tint bleached papers or repair regions to a shade that corresponds to surrounding areas.

Coffea(genus)

Dutch....	Aromatische, donkerbruine drank gebrouwen van de geroosterde en gemalen of gestampte zaden van de bessen van bepaalde tropische bomen en planten van het genus Coffea.
Spanish....	Bebida aromática de color marrón oscuro preparada a partir de las semillas tostadas y molidas o trituradas de las bayas de algunos árboles y arbustos tropicales del género Coffea.
Chinese (traditional)....	指稱一種香氣濃郁的深棕色飲料，是以水萃取不同品種的咖啡屬植物種子而得，特別是阿拉比卡種咖啡（C. arabica）。咖啡可作為飲料和棕色染料。用於染製羊毛時，可搭配鉻媒染劑染出深黃色調，而使用鋁媒染劑則可染出黃褐色。這兩種顏色都具有相當的耐光性。咖啡用於染製棉料時較易退色。某些修復員會使用咖啡染復泛白的紙張，或是修復與周遭部分深淺不同的區塊。
