unless her husband was feeling like coffee that day, in which case your entire analogy falls to pieces because god would know that he wanted coffee that day and the wife would not, she would assume due to prior knowledge of her husband ordering tea at some earlier point in time, or prefering tea on a regular basis. God would not care what you 'prefer,' he would know exactly what you want, and not just in the near future but every decision you make for the rest of your life. THAT is why your free will becomes non-existant.
I said that it is not a 100% accurate analogy because God is unique in being Eternal, which means He sees the future, which no one else can, and therefore only He is 100% right
But in this example, the wife is certain that her husband would not order coffee:
a) Because he hates coffee
b) Because the doctor ordered him not to drink coffee because of his stomach ulcer
The wife knows in advance, but her knowledge does not mean her husband does not have a free will
