Coffee is the product of a hydrocarbon (oversimplified something that was once alive). Get any hydrocarbon hot enough to produce vapors and a detector should detect it. The detector is simply a locator tool. It is up to us to determine what the hydrocarbon was and its relevance, if any. Do not rely on a positive indication from a detector on a fire scene as evidence of nefarious activity.
