In the second reference, but without correct capitalization, the reference only makes sense if "the first time" is the name of an establishment (restaurant etc)

well the first question is defenitely well written
but the second is gramatically wrong well you might be confuse
with using 'at first ' because you can say she use coffee at first
but its not in the sense like you are trying to express
remember 'at and for 'are two different word.

The first sentence is perfect but the Second sentence is Grammatically incorrect . "At the first time" Doesn't make any sense !
