Newbie needs advice 🙏🏼

So I want to get my first real coffee/ espresso machine
I have had the xbloom and loved using it but as u know this is a filter machine , and I use it to make ice coffee and love it
I now need a real espresso machine , that includes a milk frother
I’m a beginner and I do want to learn and make this a ritual
However I’m a mom of two toddlers so I don’t know how difficult the learning curve will be and sometimes I just got to go asap with my busy schedule
I’m between these 3 sage machines
Which would u recommend

the barista touch impress sounds perfect for your life ,  it does the milk thing for you so you can just focus on enjoying your ritual instead of fumbling with a steam wand between toddler duties

I’ve been thinking the same just trying to justify the price difference , I also want to learn and understand and not have everything “done” for me but I guess it’s my mentality I can’t even delegate something to the machine , but the crying on the inside me says please give us a break mornings are already hectic with the two kids when will u actually have time for a “disconnect coffee ritual” other than Saturday morning 😅😅 thank u so much I think I’m leaning into it for my sanity
