To make the mousse, melt the chocolate in a heatproof dish over simmering water, then set aside to cool slightly. Separate 3 of the eggs, whisk the egg yolks with the final whole egg and add the coffee before beating into the melted chocolate. In a clean bowl, whisk the 3 remaining egg whites to soft peaks. Fold into the chocolate mix until evenly combined. Spoon into glasses or ramekins and chill for at least 90 minutes.
