Most impactful thing you can do is buy a good grinder. Niche Zero would be a good pairing.
Next after that would be develop a consistent puck prep routine so you can dial in against as few variables as possible. IMO minimum process should be grind into portafilter (probably with a funnel/rim), do WDT, and tamp.

These are actually pretty good machines. My buddy has one and makes me lattes and shit all the time and they're always very good. He just uses good beans. The machine is pretty idiot proof you just need to tamp the shot.
Even the milk frother is designed for your average idiot to use and gets the milk to a very good consistency without having to know what you're doing like a typical steam wand.
No idea about longevity but he's had his for 3 years.
At my office we have a terra kaffe with is great for a full automatic but I think his breville makes better coffee.

Interesting, thanks Fish. I'm not sure how much of my routine is unnecessary.
1. Run one cup shot (without grinds) to warm up portafilter.
2. Grind coffee, tamp, run shot.
3. Throw out grinds.
4. Run another shot without portafilter attached, then wipe down group head with a napkin/towel.
5. Rinse portafilter. Do you actually remove the filter basket or just a straight rinse with basket inserted?
It sounds like you do no part of #4? How often do you clean the group head, just through the tablets and descaling process? I did wonder if I was introducing napkin microfibers to the group head and how good that was for the machine.

TMF: Not necessary. Go straight to 2. 2 and 3 are good.
2. Grind coffee, tamp, run shot.
3. Throw out grinds.
4. Run another shot without portafilter attached, then wipe down group head with a napkin/towel.
TMF: Nope, skip that too.
5. Rinse portafilter. Do you actually remove the filter basket or just a straight rinse with basket inserted?
TMF: Nope, not necessary. Just run under some water for a few seconds.

TMF: I have the BES878 now and had the BES870 before. Both will tell you when you need to clean them. YouTube has good vids for both that will tell you exactly how to descale. It is really easy. You'll use one of the filters, put in the rubber stopper, put in a tablet and run the setting. Then it'll need 2-3 minutes and you'll be good.
Overall, this is a super easy machine to live with.
