The Perfect Cup of Coffee: at Five5eeds

The perfect cup of coffee does exist in Park City, and it’s at Five5eeds.

You might know Five5eeds as the favorite brekkie spot of locals and visitors alike, establishing Aussie cafe culture into the fabric of our mountain town and creating to-die-for dishes that are creative and delicious. BUT, do you also associate it with some of the best coffee in town?! You should.

Did you know that Australians are obsessed with creating the proper cup of coffee? Well, it’s true! Coffee isn’t just a drink in Australia, it’s a culture. They’ve developed their own style without straying too far from coffee’s traditional Italian roots. So as a genuine Australian cafe, the staff at Five5eeds takes deep pride in providing that proper cup of coffee experience to their patrons, with the goal of offering a product that is full-bodied, brewed to the highest standards and consistent. It’s safe to say they take their coffee pretty seriously.

Comparable to wine or beer, coffee can have many different inherent flavors based on where or when it’s grown, how it’s processed, roasted, the kind of variety and even how it’s brewed. To create the perfect cup of coffee, the baristas at Five5eeds start with Melbourne-based Coffee Mio’s espresso blend. You definitely know you are getting an excellent product with Coffee Mio, as they have 70 years of experience in roasting traditional Italian coffee. And by using this specific blend, Five5eeds is providing its customers with a unique and exclusive cup of coffee, as they are the only place in America that serves Coffee Mio. Their blend is created from five different beans, instead of just a single origin, which gives their coffee a more robust and truly well-balanced flavor covering all the tasting notes you should be experiencing in a cup of coffee. Much like a fine wine, freshly roasted coffee gets better with time, so in order to achieve that full-bodied flavor each shipment of Coffee Mio is de-gassed for a seven day period. This way, when it gets delivered it is nice and fresh, and ready to be brewed.

You can tell that Five5eeds brews one of the best cups in town by their clientele. Australians, Europeans and international visitors, including professional athletes from all over the world, frequent Five5eeds to get their daily dose of caffeine. They know that this is the spot to get the most traditional cup of coffee in town. By creating a precision-based process, every latte, cappuccino and macchiato is expertly made with meticulous attention to detail. You know every time you stop into Five5eeds your latte is going to be in a six ounce glass, with a two ounce shot of espresso and four ounces of milk, while your Cappucino will be served in nine ounce cup with three ounces of espresso and steamed with half milk/half foam, and the macchiato will always be two ounces of espresso with a two ounce dash of frothy steamed milk.

Long-time regulars, Susan and Sam, come in every morning for a cup of authentic coffee. Susan says, “the Five5eeds latte brings [her] back to the days of being a grad student in Paris.” That’s exactly the sentiment Five5eeds is going for–offering the perfect cup of traditional coffee that consistently delivers the right amount of flavor and authenticity.

If you’re in a hurry, you can pop by the takeaway station to grab a cup to go or to snag one while you’re waiting in line to sit down and dine. But it’s not just about the jolt of caffeine–coffee culture in Australia is uniquely intertwined with leisure, and the staff at Five5eeds, in true Aussie fashion, encourages folks to slow down, enjoy their meals with friends and indulge in that proper cup of coffee…but only if there isn’t a line out the door.
