俺はコーヒーだけでいいや=I want not only coffee? As far as I know だけ=only いいや=no Therefore, it seems that だけでいいや means "not only" Can I say 俺はコーヒーだけでいい if I want to say I only want coffee?

The meaning of that phrase : -I only need coffee. -Just coffee, please. it sounds very informal though. -Let me put it a different way. -僕は(俺は、私は)コーヒーだけで結構です(Formal) -コーヒーだけいただけますか?(Formal) -コーヒーだけください。(Formal) -コーヒーだけちょうだい(Informal) Also, that means だけでいい ("や" is not necessary. Also, it’s used for the same meaning as ”だけでいい(よ。)" ) Does that make sense?

I think 俺はコーヒだけでいいや means "for me, I'll just have coffee." Here, the や in "だけでいいや” is an interjection/exclamation rather than a negation.

いい maens good; excellent; fine; nice; pleasant; agreeable;sufficient (can be used to turn down an offer); ready; prepared;profitable (e.g. deal, business offer, etc.); beneficial;OK so, "俺はAでいい" can be transrated as "I'm OK with A"
