Breville the Oracle Touch Automatic Espresso Machine with Grinder & Milk Frother, Espresso Maker with Touchscreen, Cappuccino & Latte Machine for Home, BES990BTR, Black Truffle.
Best deal I've seen in a while for a Breville. This is still $2700 on their website. At 1600 it's almost as cheap as the Impress touch, but this one is more automated and has more features.

Amazing discount (but still beyond my pay grade, darn it). I know one of the photos says it has the newer Baratza burrs, but could these actually be older machines with the original burrs? I just know that if I bought one at the regular price and it didn't have the new burrs I would be VERY annoyed. Just a thought.

It is an automatic machine, but requires pressing 2 buttons.
Also requires you to move the portafilter from the grinder/tamper to the brew head. Don't doubt you can probably make a better shot on it than Jura, given the additional fine tuning you can do on it though.
I have had this machine for about 5 years now. It's great for convenience, (which I assume a lot of people are buying it for) but if you're serious about your espresso and don't mind the process, I feel like having a nicer grinder will give you better results. The grinder on this machine isn't consistent (I assume I have the old burrs so I can't speak to these "new burrs" someone mentioned in a previous comment). It has a retention rate of about 1-3g which can sometimes change the taste of your drink! I paid a lot more for mine, so at this price, it's probably worth it. But if I had to do it all over again, I would definitely be buying separates. I enjoy the prepping process though. Ymmv
Sidenote: I now use a Baratza sette 270wi and find myself making adjustments far less frequently. But if you're just getting into this hobby, a baratza esp grinder is an excellent entry level grinder that won't break the bank! It's an expensive hobby, so you can periodically upgrade your equipment and learn a lot along the way!
It's as good as a Jura. It is an automatic machine, but requires pressing 2 buttons.
That automation is just something else to break, which is my case is what happened with my fully automatic machine that broke a week after this deal. FML

I bought this for $2500 at the beginning of the pandemic for work from home. Been using it daily. Already paid for itself for all the money I saved.
The only thing it doesn't do is pour me a cup of coffee.
