Pienso que en la frase inglés '(How) do you like your coffee?', la palabra How no es necesitada. Entonces, 'Do you like your/the coffee' significa '¿Te gusta el café?' . Creo que cómo/how es la palabra la que ha causado toda la confusión. POr eso deberíamos solo mirar a las frases Do you like your coffee? (si se quiere añadir 'how' a esa frase entonces se debería decir, 'how are you enjoying your coffee?' es más común, pero aún en ese ejemplo 'how' no es necesitado. How do you like your coffee? Al añadir la palabra how/cómo la frase cambia así, ¿Cómo te gusta el café? - literalmente , 'how does the coffee appeal to you?', pero no estoy seguro de que esa frase pueda ser usado para pedir las ambas preguntas. Yo adivinaría que la frase solo significa, how do your like your coffee prepared?', pero nunca estoy en lo correcto sobre esas cosas jajaj. LO siento si es muy largo y no tiene razón

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."

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
