Morphology

fresh + coffee

The meaning 'coffee that has been recently brewed' is directly and transparently derived from combining the adjective 'fresh' (recently produced/not stale) with the noun 'coffee' (the beverage); a B1 learner who knows both words can infer this meaning. This simple adjective+noun compositional pattern is common across languages and follows standard English semantics, making the MWE immediately comprehensible.

Etymology

The phrase fresh coffee comes from the simple image of fresh coffee just made and still steaming on the table. That's why fresh coffee means 'coffee that has not been sitting for long' and has a strong smell and full flavor.
