    how bigs the tank? if its a big tank im sure the coffee will just get filtered out. i personally wouldnt worry too much. if its a small tank you could just do a water change to help it filter out.

    I don't think a few drops of coffee would hurt anything.

    I wouldn't do anything. I wouldn't do a waterchange, I wouldn't add carbon. I might dunk a donut in the tank but that's optional IMO.
