Hi Welcome!
It looks like one with multiple little shoots together. GO ahead and take off any crispy leaves or dead stems. That will help you know if things are still dying off.
Your watering technique sounds good. I wonder, how often?
Clay pots are fine but no longer my preference for most plants. I found they got too dry, too fast, and that I was fooled by the size and weight pf the pot and did not water often enough for some plants.
Not saying you can't keep it in that pot.. just trying to get a better feel.
Where does it sit between waterings? 'A little extra sun' is probably quite fine now and then , but is the other spot really dark?

I still have my coffee, now about 6 years. I still say it seems to like staying moist. It is a single bush with branches. It has never suffered the spider mites or mealybugs or aphids I have had now and then on other indoor plants. Summer is outside in the shade, winter this year is the corner of a room with an east and a south window flanking, but really not a super bright spot, and happy enough.
Plant it and they will come.
