Which sentence is correct the first or the second?

1. "I like to drink coffee on the balcony."
2. "I like to have (a) coffee on the balcony"

Would there be any difference in meaning between "a coffee" and "coffee" in the second sentence?

One, I don't think either is incorrect. Two, I don't see any meaningful difference between the two.

If you are asking about two sentences, please make sure there is only one difference between the two.
