I just re-did my Parents' kitchen and installed a light grey tile countertop and backsplash with a white, non-epoxy, sanded grout. Unfortunately my Parents were using the counter before I had a chance to seal the grout. Well, last night the coffee maker went nuts and decided to leak coffee all over the counter. I now have a half white and half coffee colored grout situation.
What is my best option here? I don't really want to remove all the grout and re-do it if I can avoid it. Can I clean it, Re-color it or use magic?
HELP!!!

Unless you know magic, you'd better just pull the grout out and put new in.

Your best to rake out the grout and replace. Reminds me of geting a call about a new countertop I had grouted 2 days earlier. I was very clear about using extreme care for the first 3 days until it could get sealed. I don't normally seal, just advise, but this was one of those rare return to seal occasions. It was the evening before I was to return to seal the grout. Red Hawiian punch spilled onto the grout. Needless to say, instead of sealing that next morning, I was cutting out lots of grout.
