Preheat your oven to 300 degrees and spray an 8-inch round cake pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sugar and water using a rubber spatula. Increase the heat to medium and let this mixture cook for about 8-12 minutes until this mixture is amber in color, occasionally swirling the pan to distribute the caramel color. As soon as it reaches an amber color, pour your caramel into an 8-inch round cake pan.
Swirl the mixture around to make sure the bottom is evenly coated. (Use a glove or kitchen towel to hold the cake pan, the caramel will make the pan very hot to the touch)

Start by placing the coffee beans in a small ziploc bag, then use a kitchen mallet to break them up into smaller pieces.
In a small saucepan under low heat, combine the broken coffee beans and half and half. Let this mixture cook for 6 minutes, then remove from heat and let it steep for 15 minutes.
Strain the coffee mixture into a blender, then add in the softened cream cheese, Baileys, condensed milk, vanilla extract and salt and blend for 20 seconds, until smooth. Add the eggs in, then blend for an additional 15-20 seconds to incorporate.
Strain the custard mixture into your prepared cake pan then cover with a piece of foil sprayed with nonstick spray. Place your cake pan in a bigger shallow baking dish and fill the dish with water halfway up the side of the cake pan.
Bake for about an hour and ten minutes to an hour and twenty minutes, until the outer rim of your custard stays firm, but the center jiggles a little. Check for doneness at the hour mark.
Remove the cake pan from the water bath and let cool on a wire rack for about 30 minutes. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
Once you are ready to serve, run a thin knife along the edge of the flan, then invert onto the serving dish.
