"earliest use found in Alvin Toffler (1928–2016)."

So is it she coined the phrase as it applies to coffee?

if you read the article it explicitly states she herself says she borrowed the term from her reading of feminism. so yes.
There is "Third Wave Feminism", so likely not Toffler. Toffler used "Third Wave" to refer to the transition from an industrial society to an information society.
