Pour the sugar into a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add the brewed coffee (or plain water, if you'd rather skip the coffee flavor). Stir together and set over medium heat. Once the mixture comes to a boil, turn the heat up and cook until the sugar fully dissolves and the syrup turns a bright, golden amber. Take the pan off the heat and start stirring in the butter, then pour in the cream, stirring constantly to keep the caramel smooth.
You're after a smooth, evenly colored caramel much like toffee. Grease your molds with butter and pour in the sweet mixture. You can also pour it onto a baking sheet and, once it sets, cut it into squares.
These homemade candies come out tasting just like toffee. Wrap each one in cellophane and they'll keep for a long time. If they turn out too sticky, roll them in powdered sugar.
