First of all, the correct sentence here is "I prefer coffee OVER tea" :) "I" here is the subject who actually drinks or (prefers) coffee.

U prefer coffee

Studying with me is FUN.!!

When it comes to comparision, you always use 'To'. The thing to which you give more priority is always stated first. In this phrase "I prefer coffee to tea" -- You give the utmost priority to coffee when compared to tea. I hope, you are clear now. Good day.!!

You actully drink coffee. You prefer coffee to tea means you like coffee or we can say if you are offered coffee and tea both, you would take coffee.
