Breville the Bambino - The faster way to professional results at home. Like professional machines, the Bambino can deliver third wave specialty coffee. This is made possible by the 4 keys formula. Delivering barista quality performance using a 54mm portafilter with 18 grams of coffee for full flavour and a powerful steam wand to create microfoam required for latte art. With a proprietary ThermoJet heating system the machine is ready to start in 3 seconds.
The Bambino Plus is also on sale for $449.1 if you like the automatic milk frothing function.

Damn such good deal. This and the baratza grinder on sale comes to $610. Spend $40 on an autoleveling tamper, better portafilter and dosing cup and you have a great easy to use system for most people that really isn't that much harder to use then some of the very expensive stuff with integrated tamping.
Wouldn't get the plus because while the automilk kind of works it's not very good and I think most people will get fed up by it and just spend a little bit of time learning to foam the milk themselves.
You might eventually want to upgrade from the bambino but by then you would probably have made back your money with a year if you drink a coffee everyday
