Short answer: Start with the simple reproducible test before buying parts.
Applies to which model/revision: Breville Bambino Plus BES500.
Likely cause: The symptom points first to a setup, wear-part or calibration issue that can be separated from a major failure.
Test to perform next: Return one variable to a known reference, repeat twice, and record whether the symptom changes in the same direction.
Expected result: If that subsystem is the cause, the symptom should change predictably rather than randomly.
Safety limit: Do not exceed the machine/part manufacturer chemical concentration or improvise acids/solvents around seals and boilers.
Evidence: First-hand owner experience with the same model/configuration; not a manufacturer diagnosis.I would rather know which coffee you finished than which bag photographed well.

The contrast is easier to hear than a list of famous names.
I would listen for how the singer makes the raga recognizable before the fast passages arrive. The speed is not the proof of understanding. The slower decisions usually tell me more.
I would mark the part you changed and photograph the original position before going farther. Future you is an unreliable witness.
For what it is worth, i came here to save money and now I know what burr touch means. This has gone badly.
One small follow-up: repeat the test from a cold start once. Heat can hide or create a fault, and “it worked five minutes later” is useful information.
The useful documented check is the revision-specific maintenance/service sequence, not a generic espresso-machine video. For Breville Barista Express BES870, verify the manual procedure and part number before opening or ordering anything. If the documented test does not reproduce the fault, stop treating that subsystem as proven.

I hope the discussions remain broad enough for comparisons without turning every comparison into a ranking. Different rooms can solve different problems.

I would keep the current recipe for another two brews before changing anything. One good cup can be luck; three similar cups is information.
A belated congratulations. The structure is clear, which I appreciate more than decorative ambition.
