Creating the perfect Coffee Cheesecake involves the following simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. Prepare Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
3. Mix Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a mixer until smooth and creamy.
4. Add Sugar: Gradually add granulated sugar, mixing well until combined.
5. Incorporate Eggs: Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just blended.
6. Add Flavors: Mix in vanilla extract, brewed coffee, flour, and espresso powder (if using) until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
7. Pour Mixture: Carefully pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
8. Bake: Bake the cheesecake for 60 minutes, or until the edges are set, and the center slightly jiggles.
9. Cool: Turn off the oven and crack the door, letting the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracks.
10. Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture and flavor.
11. Garnish: Before serving, top with whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder if desired.

Follow these steps carefully and watch your Coffee Cheesecake transform into a show-stopping dessert!
