Which machine-De’longhi, Gaggia, Kitchen Aid, others-U.S-$1,200 ish

Just got a Breville Touch Impress. It’s fine but just too much work for me. It keeps advising me to grind a little more, use the razor to shave some off, increase grind soze, decrease grind size, etc. I’m not a connoisseur. I love a good latte or flat white. Never drink black. I’m looking for something easy that makes good but not necessarily great espresso. It has to make a good milk drink and the milk has to be HOT! I had a Jura ENA 8 for about two weeks till I realized the milk would never get hot unless I nuked it first. Nope.

What I am hoping for: -Sollid milk drinks with hot milk -Decent espresso -Less frequent cleaning if possible -Cold drinks a bonus is but not a must -Ease. Of. Use. -Budget around $1,200 -I’m in the U.S.

Help. Thanks!!
