I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'making coffee' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'rabat is unorthodox' is the wordplay.
'unorthodox' is an anagram indicator.
'rabat'+'is'='rabatis'
'rabatis' is an anagram of 'BARISTA'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
