Coffee comprises of ingredients called tannins that breakdown in water and can cause the color compounds in your beverage to stick to your teeth.
As a result of this, they end up leaving a yellowish tint behind on the surface of the teeth.

You can also gargle your mouth with water in order to prevent the pigments from permanently staining your teeth.
