takeaway:
- drink coffee with straw, they get gradually whiter in weeks. the stain is from plaque.
- rinse with water after coffee, drink water with coffee
- re-mineralize your teeth with other substances, like Novamin (kills need for fluoride, thus hard to find in US thanks to fluoride lobby)
- brush before first coffee, the plaque that builds up on your teeth overnight soaks up the coffee and holds it on your teeth, staining them
- oil pulling with coconut oil every other day. dont swallow it at anytime and spit it out into a trashcan.

Coffee and teeth : Coffee
...
be sure you're brushing twice regularly daily.
Most people might brush their teeth maybe once at the end of the day, but brushing two to three times (morning, lunch, night) makes a HUGE difference in the cleanliness of your teeth and your overall oral health.

After I wake up I brush only with water to get rid of the dead stuff in my mouth from overnight. Only with water because I don't like the taste of toothpaste with my breakfast. Then I brush with toothpaste after the meal.

use the arm and hammer peroxicare paste. Essentially just baking soda and peroxide.

And yes, always water with coffee. Before during and after.

better off drinking water and chewing some gum to help with staining instead of brushing.

I started washing my mouth with water out after each coffee, I was shocked out how stained the water was when I spat it out.

enamel hardening toothpastes are a massive, life-changing help. They don't literally restore the enamel (once it's gone it's gone), but they re-mineralise your teeth with other substances, like Novamin (actually a form of glass but not in a scary way). Any specific enamel hardening toothpaste will do. If used twice a day, your teeth are basically never meeting the real world of acids et al, they're safely protected and toughened, as long as you keep it up and don't switch back or stop brushing as often. I would never go back to a normal toothpaste. Sensodyne, Arm and Hammer.

My dentist told me to make sure I brushed before I had my first cup of the day. The plaque that builds up on your teeth overnight soaks up the coffee and holds it on your teeth, staining them.

it's the plaque that gets stained by coffee, not the teeth themselves. Coffee staining means you have plaque

Drink however you like it, just rinse your mouth with water after. I've started doing it as a reflex now, you get so used to it that it feels weird not to. Same trick with soda and candy - if you rinse with water straight away, you can get away with all kinds of dental sins and keep your teeth relatively unaffected.
--
Use a straw and/or rinse your mouth out with a glass of water afterwards. Two things I rarely do.

I've been able to keep my teeth fairly white even after drinking about 2 cups of black coffee a day. This is what I do:
- As others have mentioned, drink water with your coffee. If not during, then after.
- Obviously, brush your teeth. I use a manual brush, not out of any decision but just because I never got around to getting an electric. I also floss every day just out of habit now.
- Whitening strips about every 6 months. Ill use a 20 pack of white strips over like a 2 month period about twice a week.

Honestly I just use a straw now a days. Looks stupid, but my teeth have been getting progressively whiter and better looking now for a few weeks now.

drink my cappucinos through a stirring straw and take a sip of water after each sip of coffee (Amazon has them for cheap.) But I have bonding on my front teeth so I have to be extra careful not to stain the bonding/filling material.

Colgate Optic White toothpaste works great for me.
--Using that regularly wears your enamel down.
try coconut oil swishing
