Meaning of "I like my coffee cold"

Meaning of "I like my coffee cold"

I like my coffee cold.

1. I like my coffee to be cold.
2. I like my coffee that is cold.
3. Either 1 or 2 according to context.

I wonder what the main sentence means.

I think the sentence means 1 or 2 according to context because I seem to have heard that native speakers tend to omit "to be" like in sentence 1.

So, I think the right option is 3.
