**Result and lesson:** Fruit hits first, cocoa spreads, and a nutty aftertaste lingers. The flavors are well balanced, and the acidity is unexpectedly delicious. The layers are noticeable, but the overall profile could be clearer and crisper. Switched to the 9Barista heat transfer plate to try shortening heat-up time and reducing bubbles; some bubbles still appeared during brewing.
**Next experiment:** Investigate the bubbles and fine-tune flavor clarity.
