I have tried to find good Espresso in Philly since I started coming here two years ago. I thought I finally found pay dirt in Caffe del Academia. They certainly talk a good story and the shop looks promising, but sadly the Baristas are simply too inconsistent. I've had good espresso there a few times but the number of times I've had bad (and often really bad) espresso in likely higher.
This morning was a prime example. The barista pulled for over 40 seconds because she was getting a pastry for another customer durring the pull. I though maybe she knew what she was doing but suspected otherwise. Of course, the espresso was watery and sour. Classic overextraction.
Why is it that there are at least a dozen great espresso shops and there seem to be none here?
