I worked as a computer tech for many years. Spilling coffee pretty much means you will need another keyboard especially if the coffee had milk and sugar in it. I never had much luck after cleaning a keyboard with sugar in it as the keys always wound up being sticky. You can take the keyboard apart and clean it with a proper solution but keyboards are cheap these days and not worth the trouble. IMHO
When someone spills a liquid into a keyboard, the best thing to do is turn the keyboard upside down and let the liquid drain out. Water will be okay but other liquids like coffee and juice will eventually cause sticky keys. Wait until the keyboard is fully dry before plugging it in.
The actual number of beeps tells you what is wrong per Zcaveman's post.
