Need help making a coffee stain on paper

I plan on using some really strong coffee to replicate the drip and coffee ring on the papers but I was wondering if anyone had a technique for making good coffee rings or is pretty much get coffee on the bottom of the mug and just plopping it down?
 
Did some image searching and came up with these larger pictures. You could pull these up in photoshop and print them straight onto your papers.

Yarrr! There be large pictures ahead!

Very easy to do. I do it all the time. Get some black coffee and pour some on the coffee saucer. Dip the cup in the coffee and set it on your paper/napkin.

Different papers absorb in different ways so test it out. Watercolor paper is thicker and produces a nice stain. You have textured or smooth surfaces also.

I figured it was that easy but I wanted to make sure i was doing it right as i don't have enough ink in the printer to print more copies lol.
