Help, spilt coffee on cloth seats

After several months (actually, 13 to be exact), I got my wife to let me clean out her Civic. It's NASTY!!!.

Any rate, I found that her thermos leaked her coffee on the back seat and stained it pretty well. I started cleaning it with Megs APC 4:1 and a old MF cloth. What I'm finding though is the center of the spot is nice and clean, but it appears that the stain is actually spreading out like ripples on water.

Any suggestions on what to do?
 
Well it's going to hard to get it out but try this and see if it works for you. Make a solution of one part of white vinegar with one part of water
Apply to the stain using a spray bottle to saturate
Allow the stain to sit about 10-20 minutesUse a sponge to clean in a rubbing motion Rinse with warm water Brush the pile back into the natural direction is has,
Using lots of layers fo papetowels, place paper towel on top of area, place a book on top of that. Allow to sit like this until it has dried.
or maybe this one might work for you, A ammonia solution: 1 teaspoon of clear, household type ammonia to a half of a cup of water. This solution can be used in a spray bottle or be applied to the carpet directly. It is important not to wet the carpets backing when apply. After applying solution, use white paper towels to blot. Allow to dry completely. or try this one, Detergent solution: A detergent solution can be made of hand soap or dish soap. The combination is one quarter of a teaspoon of detergent to one quart of water. Make sure the soap does not contain bleach or lanolin.
Blot the stain with white paper towels to remove as much of the solution as possible. Apply detergent solution with a spray bottle, rub the area, and then bolt out the stain and the rest of the detergent and the last one is, Isopropyl rubbing alcohol can be apply it by pouring some onto a clean, white towel. Paper towels can be used as long as they are white.Blot until as much as possible until stain is removed. But be very careful! If the stain is small, blot in one direction only so that you do not spread the stain. One more thing not all stains can be removed.
 
And one thing also I forgot, try Folex. This one works very well in removing stains from seats also.
 
I've had good success on coffee stains with Woolite Heavy Traffic Foaming Upholstery & Carpet Cleaner. Apply product, let foaming action work for 30 seconds, scrub with a carpet brush, rinse with water/spray bottle, dry with a cotton towel, air dry.
 
Resolve Triple Action

I just did the interior on my wife's Odyssey. We have a three year old daughter. She had everything in those seats; milk, coffee, other things I couldn't tell what they were. Just sprayed them with resolve and used a old suede brush an out it came. I did not see any fading in the car. We use it all over the house why not a car.
