Coffee and white teeth?!


Question: Several years ago I whitened my teeth using the Crest kit and had great results. I touched up here and there over the years but not I'm in college and drink coffee several times a day (can't help it!), so my teeth have noticeably yellowed. Is there a way to keep white teeth AND drink coffee without totally ruining my teeth with whitening strips??
