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

'strong drink' is the definition.
(type of coffee drink)

'sees pros in meltdown' is the wordplay.
'sees pros' can be anagrammed to 'ESPRESSO'.
But, I am not clear how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for espresso that I've seen before include "Coffee (S, not X)" , "Strong coffee made with steam machine" , "Italian strong coffee traditionally in a little cup" , "Seep Ross into the coffee" , "strong drink" .)
