For coffee and tea stains on clothes, the key is to act quickly. Fresh stains will generally wash out if soaked immediately in warm water and biological detergent, and then washed as normal. If the fabric is suitable, use the hottest wash possible. With white fabrics, if the stain still shows after the wash, dab it with hydrogen peroxide mixed with water - for a 20% volume hydrogen peroxide solution, dilute 1 parts hydrogen peroxide to 9 parts water.
If you do not have water and detergent to hand, vinegar is a good alternative. Mix one teaspoon of vinegar in one quart of cold water and then spray onto the stain, before blotting it up. This should loosen the stain and bring it out. Baking soda is something else that can be used: sprinkle a teaspoon onto a wet cloth and then gently rub the stain, before rinsing off. Soda water is a great general solution for stains as it will flush off most stains, if rinsed and then blotted gently.
If the stain is older, then you may need to soak it for longer (eg. overnight) in a laundry stain remover or borax solution. Glycerine rubbed into the fabric can also be used to loosen the stain before washing.
The above goes for cushion cover etc anything that can be put in a machine
