Buy an espresso machine that's 5K or save up for a better one in the future?
This is the one advice, OP, that you should take to heart. Start with a good grinder, grind your beans fresh. Tapos kahit entry level espresso machine, like say a Delonghi Dedica, Ascaso Dream, or a Bambino Plus, okay na yun. Makakapag produce na yun ng good enough espresso kung maganda na yung grin

New machine [$1500]
Seems like reading is very hard. I wouldn't worry about the pressure. But if you want a heavier maschine take a look at the Ascaso Dream or Steel.

Ascaso Dream vs Sage Bambino [€200]
Ascaso Dream all the way IF it's working. Buying second hand is definitely the way to go with espresso machines!

Budget is not a problem, but I can’t find an option better than Bambino, why?
My ascaso dream pid does not have that heat up time. Thermocoil is definitely contentious but I'm definitely happy with the heat up time and the PID.

Wife and I are looking for a new espresso machine. She wants ease of use and I want best taste possible, what should we get? [$1000]
I've got an Ascaso Steel Duo PID and absolutely love it. Ascaso support based in WA has been absolutely a pleasure to work with also with the single event that I had. Maybe check out the Dream PID and a Niche Zero? https://ascaso.com/en/dream/

Should I try to repair it by myself or rather directly to professionals ?
can’t make a decision for your but i’ve had really good luck working on my Ascaso Dream from 2015. parts availability is great, and the machines are fairly easy to work on for novices. it’s unlikely you’ll make anything worse by popping it open and at least having a look.

Constant Single/Double Shots Flashing [Bambino Plus]
For a thermoblock only machine the next step up outside of Breville is Ascaso Dream One but those are around 1.5k in the US

Confusion about Ascaso range [Budget €1500]
I haven't seen the version without the PID in the name. Even the cheaper Ascaso Dream has a PID. For that price, an espresso machine without a PID is not worth it IMO
