My roommate is a dental hygienist and I went to her with this same problem. She recommends "dry-brushing" your teeth after drinking coffee/tea/soda, as they don't stain your teeth perse but the enzymes that reside one them.
Basically just brush your teeth (with or without toothpaste) right after and you should be cool.

So basically you want a warm, refreshing beverage that won't stain your teeth? Try herbal teas. Camomile is great in the afternoon or before bed. Rooibos is a light red, non caffeinated tea that goes well with mint. Hot water with a splash of lemon & mint leaves is very refreshing.
You can also brush your teeth with pure baking soda 1 to 2x a week to lift stains. I drink a lot of black coffee and still have pearly whites. The baking soda trick works wonders for me.
