In this case I would say "I prefer coffee with milk to just coffee" or "I would rather drink coffee with milk than just coffee".
There are some structures with "prefer":
1. prefer to do Sth
2. prefer Sth to Sth
3. prefer to do Sth rather than do Sth
4. prefer doing Sth to doing Sth

Both of those two sentences are incorrect. "To prefer... to ..." is a set phrase and can only be used as such. "I PREFER coffee with milk TO black coffee" and "I would RATHER drink coffee with milk THAN black coffee" are grammatically acceptable syntagms.
