Hi,
Your partial dentures are to be used as teeth replacement and meant for function. This is true for cast partial dentures - these will have a metal framework with the acrylic or resin teeth and gums built on top. If the partial is full acrylic/no metal present (there is a risk associated in terms of fracture. The resin and acrylic can pick up stain over time, but there are no other real contraindications for drinking coffee.
Hope this helps.

Yes, but with any dark fluid you drink like coffee or tea or colas, you need to clean your partial thoroughly to prevent staining of the partial.
Yes, definitely. Just be careful if the partials cover any part of the roof of your mouth, you lose a bit of temperature sensation. Don't burn your throat. You may not know how hot the liquid is until you swallow.
In most cases, there should be no reason why you wouldn't be able to drink coffee with your partial dentures in. If your dentures are made of a clear material and you have been told that they will stain easily, then you should avoid this. Some staining of teeth and dentures can occur with coffee, red wine or anything that has a lot of dark color in it. Usually this can be removed with denture cleaners such as Polident or by your dentist.
yes
Yes, I do not know of any reasons why one cannot drink coffee with partial dentures. However, just as coffee stains natural teeth, coffee will also stain partial denture teeth, so proper home care, with brushing or a denture soak safe for partial dentures is important.
Yes, not a problem at all, just be sure to regularly clean your dentures as recommended by your dentist.
If the coffee is not too hot, it should be okay. If you are used to drinking hot coffee or soup, it's better to remove your partial since metal is going to absorb the heat and burn your mouth.
Yes. The partials will probably stain from the coffee. I would take them out and rinse with water/brush them after drinking a cup.
