Toxic Coffee
Coffee is toxic to dogs because of caffeine, and it stays Toxic where tea and soda were recalibrated to Caution — there's no caffeine-free coffee. This is the site's caffeine reference: the per-kg caffeine dose math, why grounds and beans are more dangerous than brewed, the caffeine-pill scenario, and the within-hours onset.

Toxic Hot Chocolate Mix
Hot chocolate mix is toxic, but less concentrated than it looks: it's cocoa diluted heavily with sugar and milk powder, so it's milk-chocolate-tier (~2 mg/g, ~60–70 mg theobromine per serving), not the cocoa-powder-tier hazard the 'chocolate powder' appearance suggests. The dry tub eaten in bulk is the real concern. See the chocolate hub for the full dose math.

Caution Soda
Soda's risk to dogs depends on the product. Caffeine ranges from ~34 mg in a can of cola and ~54 in Mountain Dew down to zero in most root beers and citrus sodas like Sprite. Caffeine is dose-dependent; for most sodas the bigger everyday concern is the sugar load. Mainstream diet sodas use aspartame/ace-K/sucralose, not xylitol. Recalibrated from Toxic to Caution.

Caution Soy Milk
Plain, unsweetened soy milk isn't toxic to dogs — soy is a common, accepted ingredient in dog food, and a small amount is low-risk. It's a Caution rather than fully safe because it's an unnecessary processed drink usually sold sweetened, vanilla, or chocolate: the sweetened ones add sugar, and chocolate soy milk carries a genuinely toxic ingredient. A splash of plain is fine; read the label on anything flavoured.

Caution Tea
Tea's safety for dogs depends entirely on type and amount. Caffeine ranges from ~40–50 mg in a cup of black tea down to zero in most herbal teas. A lap of brewed tea is usually a small dose; the real risk is a dog eating dry tea bags or leaves, where the caffeine is concentrated. Recalibrated from Toxic to Caution to reflect that dose-and-type reality.
