Crossword Genius

This coffee has surprisingly nice aroma (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

americano

'this coffee' is the definition.
(type of coffee)

'surprisingly nice aroma' is the wordplay.
'surprisingly' indicates an anagram (a surprising ordering of the letters).
'nice'+'aroma'='nicearoma'
'nicearoma' is an anagram of 'AMERICANO'.

'has' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for americano that I've seen before include "Style of coffee" , "Espresso diluted with hot water" , "drink" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
