Place sugar in a small heavy saucepan. Cook over
medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon,
until sugar crystallizes into lumps (about 15
minutes). Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until
sugar melts and turns a light golden brown (about 15
minutes). Quickly pour hot caramel mixture into an
ungreased 8-inch round cakepan, tilting to coat bottom
evenly. Set aside (mixture will harden).

Combine eggs and remaining ingredients in a large
bowl; beat with a wire whisk until coffee granules
dissolve. Pour egg mixture over caramelized sugar in
cakepan.

Place cakepan in a large shallow baking dish. Pour hot
water into outer baking dish to a depth of 1-inch.
Cover with aluminum foil, and bake at 350 degrees F.
for 55 minutes or until a knife inserted near center
of flan comes out clean. Remove pan from water, and
let cool. Cover and chill at least 8 hours.

To serve, loosen edge of custard with a spatula, and
invert onto a serving plate.
