Adrian Dart

Sales & Customer Support Manager

Adrian has a love for coffee dating back to the first time he sprinkled it on ice cream as a wide eyed 6 year old. Since then he has seen coffee take him on the glorious journey of fanatic barista, passionate café operator and certified Q grader. Strengths: Pour over, cooking pancakes, 26ft jump shots. Weaknesses: Kenyan coffee, Pinot, saying ‘no’ to his daughters.

Emeline Giroux

Barista Trainer

From a career in event planning in Paris to discovering specialty coffee whilst backpacking in South America, Emi is our resident globe-trotting trainer. Moving to Melbourne to further her experience in the industry, she quickly found herself climbing the local cafe ranks and finally in a position here with Five’s. She loves eating out with mates just as much as she loves hitting the pavement for a sprint down the street.

Sophie Murchie

Sales & Account Manager

With 8+ of barista experience and café management under her belt, Wollongong native Sophie made the move to Melbourne to pursue the corporate life but quickly realised it wasn’t for her. Cue the perfect role in specialty coffee working with Fives and here we are! Outside of work you can find her in her natural habitats cooking and entertaining for friends, going to gigs and loving a bit of touch footy on the side.

Zoe Tulloch

Sales & Account Manager

Joining us from across the ditch, proud Kiwi Zoe made her way to Melbourne in 2018 and hasn’t looked back since. Falling in love with specialty coffee whilst working as barista and roaster at some of the city’s finest coffee institutions, she comes to us with a wealth of knowledge and plenty of cute pics of her Kelpie/Border Collie cross Samantha.

Damien Steponavicius

Head Roaster

Damo has been putting his Bachelor of arts, advanced diploma in screenwriting and post grad in literature to good use roasting coffee for the past 8 years! No only can he discuss all things roasting with you, he’ll do it with perfect grammar and vivid analogies. He might seem a little shy, but just bring up Europe, specifically the little Swiss town of Lauterbrunnen, and watch him gush!

Caleb Heinselman

Field Service Supervisor

One of the best things we’ve imported from USA, Caleb left Synesso in Seattle over 10 years ago to join our tech department. The mumma bear of the tech team, this former US Marine is just as likely to fix your grinder as he is to give you a big bear hug.

David Velic

Field Service Technician

Emily Duong

Marketing Coordinator

With three years of public relations experience under her belt, Emily brings a wealth of knowledge (and a major sweet tooth) to the marketing team. When not at work, you may find her out exploring new restaurants and markets or working on her start-up specializing in ethical and sustainable apparel for women. 

Matt Mooney

Sales & Account Manager

Joining us from the Bush capital, Matt is a former barista from Canberra. Fairly new to the Melbourne scene but it's not to say that this superstar hasn't dived in head first. With a passion for the lens, expect candid shots from this avid shutterbug! 

Nathan Shevchenko

Marketing Coordinator

From his first gig with the Melbourne Victory Football Club, Nathan remains a loyal fan years on. As a self-confessed geek, he is always down for a LEGO building session and will never say no to an invitation to watch the latest Star Wars flick.
