Melt the chocolate in a bowl & let cool. In a stand mixer, beat cream cheese & sugar until smooth, then mix in cocoa powder & coffee granules.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed. Don’t overbeat! Add the melted chocolate and continue to mix on low to just combine.

Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top. Wrap the outside of the pan in a double layer of foil, covering the underside & extending all the way to the top.
Set wrapped pan in a large roasting pan, and pour hot water into the roasting pan—to a depth of 2 inches or about halfway up the sides of the cheesecake.
