How do you say 'Do you want some tea or coffee?' in French?

Here are a few possibilities (depending on situation):
Veux-tu du thé ou du café?
Est-ce q'on préfère le thé ou le café?
Voulez-vous du thé ou du café?
My French is rather rusty and tends to be Cajun-ish, but all of these sentences "feel right", anyway. With these three sentences, I am demonstrating three different formality levels, as well some subtle distinctions in what exactly is being asked (do you want...? would you like...? which of the two do you prefer?).

Tu veux du thé ou du café ? More familiar
Voulez-vous du café ? ou peut-être du thé ? More polite

Lequel préférez-vous? Le thé ou le café?
Voulez-vous du thé ou du café?
Préfèrez-vous du thé ou du café?
Il y a beaucoup de possibilités.. :)
