Some ladies press on to get coffee (8)
I believe the answer is:
espresso
'coffee' is the definition.
(espresso is a kind of coffee)
'some ladies press on to' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'ESPRESSO' is hidden within 'ladies press on to'.
'get' is the link.
(Other definitions for espresso that I've seen before include "It's made by forcing steam through ground coffee beans" , "This may keep someone awake!" , "Drinks machine" , "Italian-style coffee" , "Coffee drink" .)
