Your setup looks perfectly fine to me!
(but yeah, warmup time is a bit of a pain, especially if someone asks for a coffee and the machine isn't warmed up)
The wooden handle on my basket is somewhat unhappy with being heated / cooled, and has lost its threading.
It's now being held on with large quantities of PTFE tape.
Just tried to unscrew mine to see if it's a wooden thread or a metal plug and it's siezed pretty firm!
Could you bore it out and pop a metal plug in there for a more secure fit?
