More than a cuppa! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pinta

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

'more' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'a cuppa' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
'cuppa' could be 't' and 't' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'pin' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'than' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
