Small strong black coffee (8)

I believe the answer is:

espresso

(Other definitions for espresso that I've seen before include "Barista's beverage" , "Coffee (S, not X)" , "that's stimulating" , "It's made by forcing steam through ground coffee beans" , "Italian-style coffee" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
