Beat egg yolk with electric mixer till thick and lemon colored; set
aside. In a medium saucepan combine sugar, water, and coffee powder,
bring to boiling, stirring till dissolved. Cook over medium high heat.
Stir constantly, till mixture reaches soft-ball stage (236F).
Quickly pour the hot mixture in a steady stream over yolks, beating
constantly on high speed. Continue beating till mixture is thick and
smooth. Cool 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, beat the unsalted butter till light and fluffy. Beat butter,
1 tablespoon at at time, into cooled yolk mixture. Cover and chill for 30
minutes or until stiff enough to spread. Stir semisweet chocolate
pieces into 1/2 cup of the buttercream.
