Coffee tree brown spots and holes. Not really sure what to do at this point.

My guess is water burns. If a drop of water is left on the leaves, it can magnify the sun’s heat and burn the leaf.

You don’t think it’s a pest?

Looks like caterpillar damage. Check under the leaves. Sometimes they come early and hide when the sun gets too hot.
