I don't mean to insult you: coffee non-negotiable (2,7)
I believe the answer is:
no offence
'i don't mean to insult you' is the definition.
'coffee non-negotiable' is the wordplay.
'negotiable' indicates an anagram.
'coffee'+'non'='coffeenon'
'coffeenon' anagrammed gives 'NO OFFENCE'.
(Other definitions for no offence that I've seen before include "legal" , "Don't be upset" .)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
