Coffee Rubbed Cheeseburgers

• 1 tablespoon freshly ground coffee
• 2 teaspoons packed golden brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 8 slices applewood-smoked bacon
• 1 lb ground chuck
• 1 lb ground sirloin
• 8 slices smoked provolone cheese, smoked caciocavallo or 8 slices smoked gouda cheese
• 8 potato-bread hamburger buns

1. For coffee rub:
2. Mix all ingredients in small bowl. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 week ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
3. For burgers:
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Place 2 bacon slice halves atop each burger. Cook 3 minutes.
7. 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.
