Is it correct to say " wo3 xi3huan he1 bu he1 ka1fei1?" or should i place de word bu in front of the verb xi3huan? How do i make choice type questions when the statement has two verbs?

The "bù" will always go with the first verb in a series.

"Do you like to drink coffee?" would be "Nǐ xǐhuān bù xǐhuān hē kāfēi?" or "Nǐ xǐ bù xǐhuān hē kāfēi?" or simply "Nǐ xǐhuān hē kāfēi ma?"
