Ensure your breadmaker is clean and ready for use.
Add the ingredients to the breadmaker in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, liquids go in first: add water, molasses, and vegetable oil.
Layer the bread flour, rye flour, and whole wheat flour on top of the liquids.
Sprinkle the coffee granules, cocoa powder, salt, caraway seeds, and dehydrated onion flakes over the flour.
Make a small well in the middle of the dry ingredients and add the dry active yeast into the well, keeping it separate from the wet ingredients at this stage.
Set the breadmaker to the whole wheat or basic bread cycle (depending on your machine's settings) and select the 1 1/2 lb loaf size.
Start the breadmaker and allow it to knead, rise, and bake the dough according to the programmed cycle.
Once the breadmaker signals that the bread is done, carefully remove the pan from the machine (it will be hot, so use oven mitts).
Turn the bread out onto a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing to avoid compressing the loaf.
