'stand a drink?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'one that' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'one' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'caster' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'can' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for coaster that I've seen before include "Ship; (drinks) mat" , "proceeds with little effort" , "Tray; trader" , "It goes under a schooner, perhaps" , "Trading vessel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
