After 4 weeks (see below after 4 months):
In order to partly effusive test reports here my little less euphoric test the WMF10 after 4 weeks:
I am very satisfied with the taste of the "Latte Macchiato" and with the very good for the regular coffee pad machines Crema. But we must expect the usual pads no espresso! I always drink coffee with milk and no espresso, the coffee tastes very good over the bar function. The taste is much better than with our (old) Senseo (with handgeschäumter milk). The handling of the milk unit is also very good, the automat. Cleaning is easy. A complete cleaning (which I've done only once for testing purposes) is but as usual fiddly, but my opinion is seldom necessary if you usually immediately uses the cleaning program.
There are plenty of meaningful functions and settings such as the coffee / milk quantities etc, which is certainly more than many other offer.
Handling Weaknesses:
'- If you pull the Padschublade always drop down a few drops of coffee, so we now have almost always a rag are the machine, or there just coffee drops. This is by design, because it is a 'square turn drawer for the pads', which can be used for one or 2 pads. At the rel. flat parts stuck some coffee and then drops him pull it down.
'- Via a large white knob on top to close the Padschublade. Although rare, but sometimes it happens that that is simply not turned off strong enough so that the broth from the front drawer rausläuft
The round knob and vice versa, is not appropriate in the conical shape drawer at Doppelpadnutzung are not just design highlights the otherwise very nice machine.
Overall, a highly recommended machine, albeit with slight handling weaknesses, hence only 4 stars.
As elsewhere justly remarks:
It will be the Petra KM45 base that is significantly cheaper, which should just look at times. Although Petra as a trade mark may not be as great sounds: They have always been the best of all Crema pad machines had, therefore, no shame!

After 4 months:
The "handling problems" extremely nervous:
1. Constantly black coffee drops when pulling out the Padschublade that is totally unacceptable and dirty every kitchen plate or even the floor (saut about 20 cm with a drop, once you get the drawer pulls)
2. You must always be careful that the pad is correctly and flat in it, a drawer is simply a stupid idea that is close in the real Senseo for much better! If the pad is not right there, running out a part of the "coffee soup" and the coffee is gone.
3. The Latte Macchiato is only 1-2 cm thin froth (and has otherwise too much milk), my 5 foam mixer brings loose> 5 cm stiff froth. Despite all normal and intensive cleaning it does not improve. I have not cooked many bar and therefore do not see, to buy even expensive WMF milk foam cleaner. Besides the automatic cleaning, the cleaning is very complicated. I switched back to the 5 Handschäumer for 3 months!
Having a Krups Nespresso tried machine that makes a fantastic aromatic coffee, super the handling is (very clean mi capsules) and even EIM purchasing rice cheaper than this WMF 10 WE WILL THIS MACHINE SALE and switch to a Nespresso system and with 19bar pressure produces a completely different espresso and coffee quality. Unfortunately, strongly driven by the annoying problems of WMF, but also lured by a much better, albeit more expensive coffee. The handling of the Nespresso machine is great, but unfortunately produced with the capsules more garbage.
Too bad, I would like to keep and recommended the Maschne, but that can not do, unfortunately.
