You can have a coffee, and you can have a coffee break.
But you can't take a coffee. You can take a coffee break.

When people eat or drink something they have it. I like to have wine with my pasta. I had beer with my steak.

No one takes food when they eat it. If you said I want to take coffee, it sounds like you want to transport coffee somewhere. Where do you want to take coffee.

The only food you take is medicine. I had a cough so I took medicine. I feel a headache coming so I should take a pill.

@_YuKa_ I don't want to be a dick, but there are things wrong with your example sentences. Grammatically they should be:

I want to have/take a cup of coffee.
Or, I would like to have/take a cup of coffee.

However, native English speakers in Western countries almost never say take a cup of coffee. I could imagine someone saying that if they are trying to be ironic in suggesting the coffee is medicine. Like if someone struggled into work with a bad hangover from drinking they might say I need to take a coffee, it's a half joke suggesting the coffee is a kind of medicine.

Maybe in Europe they say "take", I don't know. But I've never heard anyone take a cup of coffee in Australia. Only if they are saying "I need to take a cup of coffee to my boss" (I.e. Transporting it)

If someone is asking you "would you like a cup of tea or coffee?" You could say either I'll have a coffee or I'll take a coffee. There is no difference.

But the act of drinking the coffee is "having a coffee", not "taking a coffee".
