Combine the butter, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Use a hand mixer to beat on medium speed until the mixture turns pale and fluffy (between 1 and 2 minutes). Add the melted chocolate, cocoa powder, coffee, and vanilla. Continue beating until well combined, about 1 more minute. Place the oats in a food processor until crushed, about 5 pulses or 10 seconds. Incorporate the oats into the chocolate and butter mixture, stir well; refrigerate until the mixture cools, about 1 hour. Divide the chocolate mixture into 36 portions using a medium spoon; form balls and roll each in a plate with shredded coconut. Place the truffles on a tray and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
