Ingredients

Coffee rub:
1 tablespoon freshly ground coffee
2 teaspoons (packed) golden brown sugar
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
Burgers:
8 slices applewood-smoked bacon
1 pound ground chuck (preferably grass-fed)
1 pound ground sirloin (preferably grass-fed)
8 slices smoked provolone, smoked caciocavallo, or smoked Gouda cheese (about 8 ounces)
8 potato-bread hamburger buns
Toppings:
8 slices red onion
8 slices tomato
Texas Barbecue Sauce

Steps:

For coffee rub:
Mix all ingredients in small bowl. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 week ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
For burgers:
Cook bacon in large skillet until crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Break in half. Gently mix chuck and sirloin in large bowl. Form meat into 8 patties, each 3 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter and 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick. Using thumb, make slight indentation in center of each burger. DO AHEAD: Burgers and bacon can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Cover separately and chill.
Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Sprinkle 1 teaspoon coffee rub on top side of each burger. Place burgers, rub side down, on grill rack. Grill until slightly charred, about 4 minutes; turn.
Place 2 bacon slice halves atop each burger. Cook 3 minutes.
Top each with 1 cheese slice. Cover and cook until cheese melts, about 1 minute longer. Place burgers atop bottom halves of buns. Top with onion slices and tomato slices. Spoon dollop of Texas Barbecue Sauce over. Cover with bun tops and serve, passing additional sauce alongside.
What to drink:
Beer is a natural pairing for a burger. Keep the southern theme going by pouring a Texas brew. We like the caramel sweetness and mild hoppy flavor of Shiner Bock ($8 per six-pack).

I got this recipe from Bon Appetit. This is a great recipe and a nice change from the normal Cheeseburgers. The coffee really compliments the flavor of the meat.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cheeseburger.
Don't overmix the beef. Overmixing will make the burgers tough.
Season the beef liberally. Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper.
Form the burgers into patties that are about 1/2-inch thick. This will help them cook evenly.
Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help prevent them from burning.
Flip the burgers only once. Flipping them too often will make them dry.
Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help them retain their juices.
Serve the cheeseburgers with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
