I recommend avoiding anything with marinara in it or any other dark sauces. I
Try drinking water for the most part. If you need coffee drinks, juices, etc. - limit the amount and use a straw.
Hope this helps!

It's going to stain regardless of how hard you try, but coffee, tea, curry, berries, and red wine will stain them faster.
I have ceramic uppers and when I've had a powerchain on the top, I go for the grey because it's not very noticeable and doesn't stain too much. I know it sounds like it wouldn't be, but it's pretty discreet.
