Tomar (in Spain, at least) is a general word for eating or drinking. "¿Cómo tomas el café?" would probably be "How do you take your coffee?", although I would probably mischieviously misinterpret it and reply "Con los ojos cerrados."
PS I am reminded of one of Douglas Adams' characters offering a cup of tea to another: Quote:

How do you like your coffee?
-¿Como te gusta el café? (con crema, con azúcar, negro, etc) How's your coffee? -¿Como está tu café? (muy frío, muy dulce, muy caliente, etc) Let's say we are trying something new in the coffee.... Do you like your coffee? -¿Te gusta tu café? (No, le puse mucha crema) Do you like coffee? -¿Te gusta el café? I guess it's all on how you say it. I personally love coffee with flavored cream....mmmmm
