Black coffee seems fine:
"The Decayed/Missing/Filled Surface (DMFS) scores varied from 2.9, in subjects who drank black coffee, to 5.5 in subjects who consumed coffee together with sweeteners and creaming agents. The DMFS score was 3.4 in subjects who consumed coffee together with milk but no sugar. The DMFS score of the control subjects was 4, indicating that coffee if consumed alone had anticaries action, but in the presence of additives the antibacterial and anticaries action was totally minimized."

- RobertRoberts 9y agoI'd argue that anything with a ph below 7 will slowly erode teeth over time. And we know how balanced people are with their diets... :P But I drank lattes when I was dealing with my cavity in college (iirc). So I am sure an individual would need to work out what they need to do. edit: had my ph reversed.
