Asked often VIP
How fresh are the beans when they arrive?
Every bag is roasted to order on Monday, Wednesday or Saturday and leaves us within 48 hours. The roast date is printed on the label.
Should I buy whole bean or ground?
Whole bean keeps its aroma for weeks. If you have no grinder, tell us your brewer at checkout and we grind it the day it ships.
How long should coffee rest after roasting?
Filter roasts taste best from day 5, espresso roasts from day 10. Both stay good for about six weeks once opened.
Do you deliver outside Dubai?
Yes, across the UAE in 1–2 working days. Delivery is free on orders over AED 150 and on every Double plan.
Can I pause or skip my subscription?
Any time, from your account or by WhatsApp. Changes made before the 25th apply to next month's box.
Can I visit the roastery on a roast day?
Please do. The roaster runs from 08:00 on Mon, Wed and Sat, and the bar team will happily talk you through the batch.

Five steps from green to cup
KERN means “core” in German and Dutch. We started with a 5 kg roaster in a shared warehouse and one rule: write everything down.
- 01
Source
We buy direct or through two importers, paying at least 2× the commodity price. Every lot is traceable to a washing station.
- 02
Sample roast
100 g samples, three profiles each, cupped blind by the whole team.
- 03
Profile
The winning curve is locked: charge temperature, rate of rise, development time.
- 04
Roast
12 kg batches on a drum roaster, three days a week, every batch logged.
- 05
Rest & cup
Filter rests 5 days, espresso 10. Each batch is cupped again before it ships.
Anatomy of a roast VIP
Drying
Water leaves the bean. Green turns to straw yellow and smells like hay.
Maillard
Sugars and amino acids brown. Sweetness and body are built here.
Development
First crack to drop. Two minutes decide whether it tastes of fruit or of toast.
Book a class
Pick a class, a day and a time. Beans, milk and a 250 g bag to take home are included. VIP
