Did you rinse it under the tap after spilling the coffee on it? Richard reckons that coffee is acidic and it can eat through copper, so you need to wash it out with plenty of water, then turn it upside down and leave it on a towel to dry. Although water is not particularly good for keyboards either, washing it will do it less damage than leaving the coffee there. Apparently.
