I believe the answer is:

percolate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'drink in' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'fresh coffee at last having done this?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'at' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for percolate that I've seen before include "Sift gradually through clear poet" , "Strain" , "Penetrate gradually" , "Pass through fine openings, like coffee say" , "Filter - to replace (anag)" .)
