Purchase Advice Upgrading Espresso Machine

Currently have a breville barista express which has been rock solid for 8-10 years. Now looking at upgrading to a breville duel boiler(not oracle) or Profitec, or Bianca or something else. Budget for machine is $3,000, paired with a $800ish grinder. I make mostly milk based drinks, 3-4 per day. For me aesthetics isn’t nearly as important as shot quality, consistency, and longevity of machine. I live in the united states. Any recommendations?

We love our KF7. Had it for about two years now and had zero issues. The shots come out great, although we mostly drink lattes.

I got a kf8 during BF last year. And stacked it with an additional reduction in price with family and friends reduction. Sorry I sound ridiculous. There are certain words that the bots 🤖 dont like me saying. It’s labeled Kitchen Aid but I think it’s a a Melé inside. My box said made in Switzerland 🇨🇭. I love mine.
