I didn’t realise heat up time was such an issue. Maybe there’s differences in countries power supply as well. In Australia, my BDB is ready to go in under 5 min.
The BDB and the Micra are pretty quick machines to heat up. It’s mostly E61 machines and the like that take a good while to get to temp (like 20 minutes+)
You also get people that will say you need to let the machine sit and normalize temp. Thinking about the full path the water takes it make some sense. A lot of people pull an empty shot after it heats to help that.
But also you are getting into diminishing returns. Some can’t taste a difference and sometimes the difference is imagined.
