Hola, no estoy seguro de que signifique.

Right, Bob.
¿Qué tal tu día? How was your day? ¿Qué tal la película? Did you like the movie? ¿Qué tal el café? How's the coffee?/Did you like the coffee?

¿Cómo te gusta el café? (Literraly: ¿Cómo te gusta tú café?, but better the other way)
or: ¿Cómo te gustaría el café?

Hmmm is it me or is there perhaps a slight mixup here?
' How do you like your coffee' (as far as I know) is usually said when people are inquiring how you drink it (i.e. 'black', ' with sugar', 'without sugar', 'with milk' etc etc). But ' ¿Cómo te gusta el café?' I think means, how is the coffee, do you like your coffee..? ¿O es que me equivoco? So should the verb 'tomar' be used to express ' how do you take/like your coffee' ? ' ¿Cómo tomas tu café?' e.g. ? Or can you use 'gustar' also in terms of asking how people 'like' (i.e. drink) their coffee?

As in ' I like mine black/ with milk/ decaf' etc? At least this is how I interpreted your question about 'how do you like your coffee' (which of course can also mean 'do you like your coffee?', basically.. ) That is why I was wondering if ' Cómo te gusta el café' was used in asking both (i.e. how you like the coffee you are actually drinking, or how you like to drink your coffee in general - so the person being a good host can serve you the coffee the way you like it..) Hope I'm being a bit more clear now As for 'tomar' not sure, but I think in Spain it's sometimes used to say 'tomo una taza de café' for instance ' I am having a cup of coffee'. So I was wondering if the verb 'tomar' would be involved when asking people - in general- how they like to take/drink their tea or coffee.
