Teas oddly ignored, media types love coffee (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

espresso

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

'coffee' is the definition.
(I know that espresso is a type of coffee)

'teas oddly ignored media types love' is the wordplay.
'oddly ignored' means one should take alternating letters (letters in odd-numbered positions removed).
'media types' becomes 'press' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
The alternate letters of 'teas' are 'es'.
'es'+'press'+'o'='ESPRESSO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for espresso that I've seen before include "Kind of shot" , "Steamed coffee" , "Strong coffee made with steam machine" , "Coffee made under steam pressure" , "Coffee made by forcing steam through grounds" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
