Welcome to 5 Senses, where coffee is not simply a beverage, but a ‘work of art’. Our job doesn’t end with securing precious cargoes of the best specialty coffee beans from the four corners of the earth. That’s a great start, which is then complemented by the skill of the Master Roaster and his ability to manipulate roast and blend profiles. The end result is the best possible coffee experience, a ‘masterpiece’ that appeals to your sense of smell, taste, touch and sound.
So take time, touch it, inhale deeply, enjoy our coffee.
Register to receive our monthly newsletter 'Hot off the Roast' which is packed with fresh coffee news, hot barista tips and great cafes with superb coffee.
Every batch of our 5 Senses Coffee passes the Master Roaster's stamp of approval. Check out our Coffee Shop while the ink is still wet!

For the past month, the 5 Senses crew have been indulging in some particularly childish behaviour. A game of ‘You’re It’, an adaptation of Chasey, has been raging across the country.

Stepping behind the bar in someone else’s café can be a bit daunting, even for someone with many years industry experience. In my role as Head Trainer for 5 Senses, café owners often invite me to put my skills into practice in their café, frequently during their peak ‘busy’ periods!

When I first feasted my eyes on the state-of-the-art technology I would be using at Coffee Lab International, I knew I was in for a week of fun. In picturesque Burlington to attend a week-long roasting course, I was looking forward to meeting renowned coffee expert, Mané Alves.

When you talk to John Todaro, owner of Bella Vista Espresso Bar, you get the impression that he was almost destined to open his own café. A first generation Italian from Melbourne, with a background in fashion and design, John has always been around good coffee.

In last month’s newsletter, I started a truly gripping tale (for at least for a few of you!) of our five day journey into the mountains of Bali, in search of a coffee that would lift us to new and sublime heavenly heights. My last story diarised the first two days of the trip; here I describe our last few days and, hopefully, whet your appetite for our new, highly anticipated coffee, which will reach our shores in the next couple of months.
