Kind of coffee Standard journalists love? (8)
I believe the answer is:
espresso
'kind of coffee' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'standard journalists love?' is the wordplay.
'standard' becomes 'es' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'journalists' becomes 'press' (the press can mean the newspaper industry).
'love?' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'es'+'press'+'o'='ESPRESSO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for espresso that I've seen before include "Strong coffee made with steam machine" , "Steamed coffee" , "Italian-style coffee" , "Coffee (S, not X)" , "Kind of coffee made with steam" .)
