Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'morning' specifies the time and 'coffee' names the beverage, so 'morning coffee' straightforwardly means coffee consumed in the morning. This common, routine noun–noun combination is cross-linguistically familiar and follows regular English composition patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Morning coffee comes from the simple picture of drinking coffee in the morning to help you feel awake and ready. Because many people make this a small daily ritual, the phrase now means the routine or little help someone uses to 'wake up' and 'start the day'.
