Product Criteria Paper

Machines with flow-type heater do not have a ready mode or “keeping warm function”.

They switch off immediately after coffee production. Therefore they comply with the

Electricity consumption criterion anyway. Because there is no ready mode that can be

measured, this type of machines is measuered according to point 5 of the Euro-

Topten/S.A.F.E. measuring method (Measuring of Machines without Regular Ready

Mode in “Measuring Method and Calculation Formula for the Electricity Consumption of

Coffee Machines for Household Use”; Euro-Topten and S.A.F.E., 9th May 2009 (see

chapter 2.5.1.1)).

The appliance must be available in at least one European country. Relevant values

have to be provided by the suppliers. Suppliers who are not able to provide these

values cannot claim to have their appliances displayed on topten.eu. All declarations

can be verified by random measurements. The data sources are declarations by

producers and suppliers, national data-bases and topten-sites (e.g. www.topten.ch,

www.topprodukte.at) and measurements by test laboratories (e.g. www.salt.ch).

The products can be ranked according to their electricity consumption

(www.ecotopten.de) or to their their electricity costs (www.topten.eu) during 1 or 10

years.

4.2 Quality related product features

In addition to the energy criteria other quality information could be useful for the

consumer. Therefore Ecotopten (www.ecotopten.de) in Germany requires a further

quality criterion:

 at least a “good” rating from Stiftung Warentest has to be achieved if an quality

test exists. (The absence of a test result does not lead to devaluation.)

4.3 Recommendation for value setting

Availability of an auto-power-down function

The coffee machine must have an auto-power-down function.

Time lag of the auto-power-down, factory setting:

We recommend a maximal delay time (factory setting) of 30 minutes for portioned

machines (high and low pressure) and 60 minutes for fully automatic machines and

semi-automatic portafilter coffee machines.

Power consumption in standby (or sleep) following the auto-power-down:

As for non-tertiary coffee machines there is no need to display any information in

standby mode, we recommend max. 1 W in standby mode.
