Great

Very dark colour to the Kenyan cold brew, enjoyable chocolate flavour with a hint of acidity - tasty good The bottled Full Cream Milk Triple Shot Iced Coffee was deliciously sweet with a lovely creamy mouthfeel. Enjoyably the flavour of the underlying shots still came through.

Guatemalan for both espresso and batch. Espresso was good but not as great as the last couple of days - had some sweetness but didn’t finish as cleanly as ideal. Batch was also not quite there - initially sweet but a bittering at the end

Crema on the Ethiopian espresso looked like the eye of a tiger. Was exceptional - lovely acidity and hazelnut notes. Batch was also great with a richly fruity flavour

Guatemalan espresso was great with a balanced Maillard reaction base note and sweetness dancing around up top. The reflectometer test (dissolved solids) for the batch was cool. Same beans for batch as the espresso, unusually for a batch the Five Senses had some delectable rounded roasti’ness, was backed up by spot on acidic/sweetness. Top coffee location.

I think I just enjoyed the best Flat White I’ve ever had. I love the space and the great service. Don’t miss the chance to have a coffee nirvana experience, I know I just did!

Latte & piccolo

Epic Coffee, cool little spot, snug and out of the way. Such a good little find...

Serious coffee

Look for the poorly signed entrance for the koala savers. Walk past the offices of self-important mung eaters. Continue down the hallway. When think you’re lost, take a right and you’ll enter a bunker. Silk.
