   I am not aware of coffee or caffeine preventing kidney stones. If any thing too much of coffee or caffeine can cause kidney stones.

   Did you google that?
   I do not know that it does, I would think the dehydrating factor could cause not prevent stones

   Caffeinated products; from coffee, to tea to sodas all CAUSE kidney stones.

   You avoid stones by reducing caffeine intake, drinking plenty of water/juice and completely emptying the bladder when urinating.
