Stimulant provides energy - why should I care media is taken in? (8)
I believe the answer is:
espresso
'stimulant' is the definition.
(I know that espresso is a type of coffee)
'energy why should i care media is taken in?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'energy' could be 'e' (physics symbol as in E=mc2) and 'e' is located in the answer.
'media' could be 'press' (the press is part of the media) and 'press' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'so' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'provides' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for espresso that I've seen before include "Coffee drink" , "Coffee made by forcing steam through grounds" , "Coffee-making machine" , "Coffee made under steam pressure" , "Type of coffee" .)
