Coffee contains caffeine (unless you get decaf), which is a stimulant. Stimulants increase your metabolism and therefore enhance weight loss.

This all assumes pure coffee, no sugar or other additives. Other than this, I agree with everything else you said :) I decided to nitpick your statement because caffeine is actually a useful dietary aid in losing weight, and can even reduce appetite in addition to increasing basal metabolic rate!
