English crowd inside like this coffee (8)
I believe the answer is:
espresso
'coffee' is the definition.
(I know that espresso is a type of coffee)
'english crowd inside like this' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'crowd' becomes 'press' (to press can mean to crowd around).
'inside' indicates putting letters inside.
'like this' becomes 'so' ('like so').
'press' inserted inside 'so' is 'spresso'.
'e'+'spresso'='ESPRESSO'
(Other definitions for espresso that I've seen before include "Seep Ross into the coffee" , "Coffee made under steam pressure" , "Italian strong coffee traditionally in a little cup" , "Coffee-making machine" , "This may keep someone awake!" .)
