I believe the answer is:

barista

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

'a coffee maker?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'which part of cobar is taken' is the wordplay.
'BARISTA' is hidden within the letters.
However, I'm uncertain how this is indicated.

'by' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for barista that I've seen before include "Coffee expert" , "Coffee bar server" , "coffee-maker" , "Coffee bar worker" , "Coffee maker?" .)
