The best at home?

Ahhh... home espresso. Look at that crema. I have to admit, this is the best whole bean espresso roast coffee I have found in Albany so far, and it is from The Daily Grind on Lark street. I was surfing around today, shirking work and working out, and found this awesome website. Now, this is taking your latte art to a new level. Anyways, while on the never-ending search for the best lattes, so far the best latte I have had has come from Uncommon Grounds in Saratoga, NY. Now, keep in mind, this is only post 3 for me, so the adventure has just begun, really. The folks up in Saratoga know how to do it right, and even gave me a very well done latte with a shamrock for St. Patrick's day.

Well done, lads!

Yes, it was a nice cup of joe. The latte art is just a nice finish, but suggests that they are actually paying attention to the espresso below, which overall made this one good cup of coffee. The subtle differences of this cup compared to the average cup. The coffee in the Albany location just doesn't quite measure up. My personal theory is that the folks in the Saratoga location are closer to the original owners/operators who give them some good teaching, or perhaps it is the atmosphere of Saratoga itself. Whatever the case, they definitely get a vote for some of the best in the upstate area so far. But stay tuned folks, more to come.
