Product Criteria Paper

This method was developed by Topten and S.A.F.E.. Its year of implementation was

2007 and last update May 2009

.It is applied by Topten for “Best Products of Europe”

and for national Topten-sites (e.g. www.topten.ch), by The Blue Angel (for RAL-UZ

136), by manufacturers to have their high efficient coffee machines presented on

Topten websites and by Swiss electrical utilities and Swiss communities for rebate

programmes based on Topten lists. The measurement is along a “coffee period” and it

has simple proceeding irrespective of “energy saving modes”. However, coffee

production is not measured but is taken into account with a standard value of 20 kWh

per year.

 FEA/CECED-Method

This method was developed in 2008/2009 by the Swiss Association of the Domestic

Electrical Appliances Industry FEA with the contribution of CECED. It is applied by

manufacturers to get the voluntary Swiss energy label (class A to G, introduced in

autumn 2009, see chapter 2.4.2). The measuring method was adopted by CECED. In

contrast to the other method, it measueres the preparation of coffee and the steaming

function but impact of auto-power-down delay and “energy saving modes” is not

adequately considered.

2.5.1.2 Future Test Standard: Revised IEC 60661

As the existing standard IEC 60661 does not include a method for measuring the

energy consumption of coffee machines and because the presently used measuring

methods have their benefits and drawbacks as described above, one revised European

approach improving the existing methods validated by CENELEC is in development in

a collaboration with CECED, manufacturers, Topten and S.A.F.E. (working group

TC59X_WG15).

The revised IEC 60661 will contain two measuring procedures: one for coffee

machines with pressure (high and low pressure) and one for drip-filter machines (no

pressure). Currently, the proposal is in discussion with the Technical Board. After that,

the proposal will be sent to the National Committee.Topten and The Blue Angel already

declared that they will adopt the revised IEC 60661 standard as soon as possible.
