What's the best coffee maker for a picky wife? She's outgrown the pod machine I got her 5+ years ago

I bought my wife a Nespresso pod coffee machine like 5+ years ago. Thing still works fantastic, no issues whatsoever.

Fast forward to now and she's become a whole coffee person. Goes to fairs, buys ugly artisan cups, the whole deal. Now she's telling me she wants some huge expensive coffee maker because the Nespresso "isn't good enough anymore" and she needs to "up her game."

I'm not even sure what that means but apparently we need the best coffee machine money can buy now.

For those of you who've gone down this road... what's the best coffee maker for someone who's just getting serious about their coffee? Trying to figure out if I should just let her pick or if there's a coffee machine that will both last as long as the Nespresso one and keep her happy.

Any coffee maker recommendations appreciated before she comes home with some $2,000 monstrosity.
