I usually just make coffee at home or have it at the office. When I was in college I would get cold coffee drinks from a coffee shop on campus, but it's very rare for me to go to a coffee shop now.
Winter - Hot coffee and hot chocolate
Spring - Hot coffee
Summer - Occasional iced coffee or iced tea (chai, green tea, etc.)
Autumn - Hot coffee
I don't really drink hot beverages during the summer, so that's my "break" from coffee until it cools off again in September or October. A hot cup of coffee isn't appealing to me during a steamy summer morning.

Tea is disgusting to me. Even the smell makes me nauseous.

To make it nastier... I put sage in it which makes it extra bitter and sometimes mint leaves. Oh and 0 sugars. Tastes bitter as hell but I got used to it and love it. Now sweet tea that is not disgusting! It's sweet!
I usually drink tea (mostly black, but can be green) of various flavours in the morning, and sometimes in the late afternoon as well, if it is winter mostly.
Coffee is for after lunch, I guess the one I drink is what most would call expresso. I only drink that type of coffee really, I can't stand watered down coffee that's popular in many countries.
On vacation I might start the day with coffee and milk.
I drink less tea in the summer because it's hot enough like that, whereas I drink a lot of syrup in that season, mostly anise, blackcurrant (near impossible to find in Italy, I stock when I go to France, where it is extremely common), almond milk-type syrup (great in hot weather), and cedrata tassoni (hard to explain to someone who's never been to Italy).
Chinotto is a great soda option, as is gazzosa. Nice to drink with a Piadina and you've got the ultimate Emilian/Romagnola experience.
When it comes to alcohol, I enjoy some liquors in the winter like vov, in the summer it's more about limoncello. Borghetti works all year long, and so does spritz.
White wine is great but it becomes dangerous in hot weather. I am not really fond of red wine in general, unless it's northern italian.
I am overall super ignorant about beer. I don't find it very good.
Cider is awesome but is really hard to come by in Italy.
I used to hate sparkled water but in Italy it's softer than in France and it is useful with a pizza.
I drink a lot of fruit juice as well.
