Came on air stirring coffee (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

americano

'coffee' is the definition.
(type of coffee)

'came on air stirring' is the wordplay.
'stirring' indicates an anagram.
'came'+'on'+'air'='cameonair'
'cameonair' with letters rearranged gives 'AMERICANO'.

(Other definitions for americano that I've seen before include "drink" , "Style of coffee" , "Espresso diluted with hot water" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
