Why when you evaporate coffee and store the steam until it becomes liquid again, the liquid no longer has the color of coffee?

Because you can’t evaporate coffee. You can only evaporate the water that is in coffee. Evaporation basically separates the coffee from the water and condenses back to liquid as just pure water.
