Gets second and fourth reporters round for a coffee (8)
I believe the answer is:
espresso
'coffee' is the definition.
(espresso is a kind of coffee)
'gets second and fourth reporters round' is the wordplay.
'gets second' becomes 'e' (2nd letter of 'gets').
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'fourth' becomes 's' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'reporters' becomes 'press' (newspaper reporters).
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'e'+'s'+'press'+'o'='ESPRESSO'
'for a' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for espresso that I've seen before include "Coffee drink" , "Coffee (S, not X)" , "strong drink" , "It's made by forcing steam through ground coffee beans" , "that's stimulating" .)
