I have trouble with my coffee cups and mugs becoming discolored because my husband drinks lots of coffee. All I have to do to take out the stains is to let them soak in a a sink full of water with a about 1/4 cup bleach added. Just be sure to rinse them well. Works great!
Bar keeper's friend is the best to remove any tea or coffee stain in glasses, cups, plates, &/or bowls. This product is amazing. Walmart doesn't carry it any more :( I tried Raley's supermarket and found both liquid and powder form. I really like the liquid. Check out their website: barkeepersfriend.com Happy cleaning :)

Making a paste of baking soda and water will clean the coffee stains out without removing some of your glaze on your cups like bleach has a way of doing.

I drink a pot of tea daily. My teapot and cup are white and get stained by the tea. I use a small amount of powdered dishwasher soap in the bottom of the teapot and cup, fill with hot water, and let soak for at least an hour and the stains are gone. You might have to wipe the inside of the cup or teapot, but the stain will be gone.
