I have the Barista Pro still. I converted the hopper into a single dose so I wasn't wasting beans because they go stale quicker. After a year I decided was tired of the bean loss due to retention from grinder and upgraded to a standalone grinder.
That said, if you're looking for best cost and quality with Breville, I'd go with a Bambino Plus and separate grinder. If you're looking at ease of cleaning the Pro is nice. I don't see the benefit of the touch personally. The real upgrade is going to a dual boiler so you can steam and pull shots at the same time, but that's considerably more.
My setup was $450 for themachine and $250 for my grinder, Turin df-54

Any suggestions on a mid-range, reliable machine that simply makes espresso and froths?
About as knowledgable in that regard as you seem to be about espresso machines.

These absurdly expensive toys, which are usually or poor quality, exist so people can try to impress others while making themselves feel they're of a slighly higher class than the the proles. It's a sign of the K-shaped economy where people buy expensive junk on credit to make themselves feel better not being able to afford the hyper-inflated stuff that actually has some quality or value.
Solution: Get a 5lb bag of price-inflated coffee at Costco. Grind it on-prem, bring it home a put it in your $30 coffee maker. Works great! Don't feed the greed machine by buying these ridiculously expensive trophies. This defines the shittfication economy.
good ragebait is where you cant tell whether the person is baiting or is actually an idiot.
I'm staring at it on a shelf over the register as I type this. Patchogue, NY.
I have this coffee machine. I have no debt.
