English journalists going in like this coffee (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

espresso

'coffee' is the definition.
(espresso is a kind of coffee)

'english journalists going in like this' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'journalists' becomes 'press' (I've seen this before).
'going in' indicates putting letters inside.
'like this' becomes 'so'.
'press' going into 'so' is 'spresso'.
'e'+'spresso'='ESPRESSO'

(Other definitions for espresso that I've seen before include "Kind of shot" , "Coffee made by forcing steam through grounds" , "that's stimulating" , "Coffee made under steam pressure" , "This may keep someone awake!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
