If you hear one person say "I like drinking coffee" and another person say "I like to drink coffee", there is no difference in meaning. Likewise, if you hear someone say "I like swimming in the sea" and "I like to swim in the sea", these also have the same meaning. There is a very slight difference, however. When we use the gerund - 'I like drinking' - we are focusing on the enjoyable activity itself, whereas when we use the infinitive - 'I like to drink' - we are often focusing on the choice we make to do this or just on the idea of doing this. For example, you might say "I love coffee, but I don't like to drink it in the evenings. It stops me sleeping". In this context, we understand that the person likes drinking coffee (because they enjoy drinking it) but they don't like to drink coffee after a certain time (because of the effect it has on them). In other words, they are aware that it is not a good idea to drink coffee in the evening, so they choose not to do this or at least they try to avoid it. Here are some more examples of specific uses of 'like to do': "I like to file my tax return well in advance of the deadline" or "I like to have my teeth scaled and polished every three months". These activities are not enjoyable in themselves: nobody likes filling in tax forms or having dental work done. This is why we don't say 'I like .....ing' in these contexts. However, we can say 'I like to...', because this means that we know that these are good things to do. So, if you're talking about activities that are fun and enjoyable, you can usually replace the gerund with the infinitive. (I'm not sure, but I think that the gerund might be more common in British English and the infinitive is more common in American English.) However, there are some cases, such as the tax and dental work ones, where you cannot replace the infinitive with the gerund. I hope that helps.

The difference is that the non finite verb’ s are different in both sentence, in first one itis infinitive verb where as in second one it is gerund type of non finite verb.

No difference. I like to... = I like ...ing.

No difference. They both have the same meaning and both can be used in conversation without issue.

There is no difference they mean the same thing.
