Morphology

creamer = cream (semi-transparent) = cream + er

The form is clear, but the coffee-and-tea additive meaning is more specialized than a simple 'thing related to cream'.

Etymology

The word creamer also comes from cream 'the thick part of milk' plus -er 'that makes or adds', so a creamer is a liquid or powder you add to coffee to make it creamy.
