By 2021 he had a roastery and tasting room in the center of Malaga, and the operation quickly gained momentum. Kima was named Best Specialty Coffee of Spain in 2024 and ranked in the top 100 coffee destinations worldwide by Neodrinks in 2025. Rabi works exclusively with 100% Arabica specialty coffee, hand roasting each batch and selecting from a wide range of origins that includes rare varietals like Geisha from Colombia and Wild Orchid Liberica from Vietnam. An in house academy trains professionals from the hospitality sector, with baristas traveling to Malaga specifically for the courses. The philosophy is direct: flavor, traceability, zero artifice.
