Morphology
The meaning 'coffee brewed by dripping hot water through a filter' is directly and transparently derivable from combining 'drip' (to let liquid fall dropwise) with 'coffee'. This modifier–noun composition describes the brewing method in a predictable way and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand it.
Etymology
Drip coffee comes from the simple picture of hot water making slow drips through ground coffee held in a paper filter. So, it means 'coffee made by letting hot water drip through coffee grounds', usually in a drip coffee maker.
