History
Built over 12000 years ago, Kahve Ruins was designed to mass produce gummy-making robots for the Espressos. They were lead by Dr. Calzone, who was inspired by the yogart gurus' ability to astral project into the sun, where a special dimension containing Nova was said to exist. However, their experimentation started a war, causing Erd's natives and the robots to turn against the Espressos. Those who could not flee the planet were turned into gummies in Kahve Ruins, so they could be used as energy for the robots' battery cores. One of these victims was a girl named Applepie, whose gummified remains were stored in a vault within the ruins.

When the protagonist and Lassi crash landed on Erd several thousand years later, they traveled north to Kahve Ruins. Swarmed by rogue robots, they soon arrived at the top level where the magical rocket Neumann was housed. Unfortunately, Robot D12S knocked both students out and locked them inside Gumbo Gaol before they could hijack it. The protagonist and Lassi eventually returned to the ruins, using their improved abilities to clear through the robots, board Neumann, and take off for Cassia.

Once the party reunited and began their hunt for the millennium gummies, they explored Erd once more in search of the earth gummy. Mokka spontaneously broke down in Rio Villa, to which a robot suggested the party recharge him in Kahve Ruins. They obliged and brought him to the ruins' basement level, discovering a room with basins and gummified Espresso people. Rogan Josh then arrived, explaining to the party the Espressos' history and untimely fate. After recharging Mokka, the party could take an elevator to Applepie's vault, obtaining her access card upon putting her to rest.

While the party ventured across Shadra in search of Chromagar Cave, dwarves from Condimen Tower refurbished Kahve Ruins in order to help them and their allies from afar. The protagonist would later join the dwarves on Erd after the final battle against Shadra, helping them turn Kahve Ruins into a gigantic radio telescope.
