Drinks: concerned with price to fill empty cups? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coffees

'drinks' is the definition.
(coffee is a kind of drink)

'concerned with price to fill empty cups?' is the wordplay.
'concerned with' becomes 'of'.
'price' becomes 'fee' (I've seen this in other clues).
'to fill' indicates putting letters inside.
'empty' means to remove the middle letters.
'cups' with its middle removed is 'cs'.
'of'+'fee'='offee'
'offee' put into 'cs' is 'COFFEES'.

(Another definition for coffees that I've seen is " latte and mocha?".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
