Methods for measuring the performance of electric household coffee makers

EN-IEC 60661 applies to electric coffee makers for household and similar use. It does not apply to appliances designed exclusively for commercial or industrial use. The object of this standard is to state and to define the main performance characteristics, which are of interest to the user and to describe the standard methods for measuring these characteristics. This standard is concerned neither with safety nor performance requirements. Taking into account the degree of accuracy and repeatability, due to variations in time and origin of test materials and ingredients and the influence of the subjective judgement of test operators, the described test methods may be applied more reliably for comparative testing of a number of appliances at approximately the same time, in the same laboratory, by the same operator and with the same utensils, rather than for testing single appliances in different laboratories.

Standard EN-IEC 60661 velja za električne gospodinjske aparate za pripravo kave in podobno uporabo. Ne velja za aparate, ki so namenjeni izključno komercialni ali industrijski uporabi. Namen tega standarda je uporabniku navesti in opredeliti glavne značilnosti delovanja ter opisati standardne metode merjenja teh značilnosti. Ta standard ne opredeljuje varnostnih zahtev niti zahtev glede zmogljivosti. Ob upoštevanju stopnje natančnosti in ponovljivosti zaradi časovne spremenljivosti, izvora materialov in sestavin za preskušanje ter vpliva subjektivne presoje oseb, ki opravljajo preskus, je mogoče opisane preskusne metode uporabiti z večjo zanesljivostjo pri primerjalnem preskušanju več aparatov ob približno enakem času, v istem laboratoriju, z istim upravljavcem in z istimi pripomočki, ne pa za preskušanje posameznih aparatov v različnih laboratorijih.

1 Addition of an Introduction
Add the following between the foreword and Clause 1:
Introduction
IEC 60661:2006-02 (consolidated edition of IEC 60661:1999 + A1:2003 + A2:2005) focuses mainly on filter
coffee makers; capsule & pad makers are completely missing, and many clauses cannot be applied to them.
Therefore, a complete reworking of the standard could solve that inadequate status; this will be done later.
2 Modification to Clause 1 "Scope and object"
In NOTE 2, add "and capsule and pod/pad makers" after "espresso coffee makers".
3 Modification to Clause 2 "Normative references"
Replace the text by the following:

opening the steam valve or pushing the steam button, until the moment the required water temperature in the
beaker has been obtained.

In case of a milk-frothing device based on a venturi principle, the same procedure as above is followed. The
air inlet at the venturi tube shall be blocked, if possible.
In case no steam tube exists, the following procedure is used. The milk jug (container) is filled with water of
15 °C ± 2 °C. The process is started and continued until a mass of 110 g ± 1 g is in the beaker.
NOTE The 10 g extra compensate for the condensed steam amount.
26.Z2.4 Standby mode
The power or energy measurement is started immediately after the maker has switched into its standby mode
and according to EN 50564:2011. The value of Power in standby mode (P ) over 1 h is to be recorded as
standby
Energy (E ).

If a maker does not have a power management system including automatically switching to standby mode or
off mode, the value of E – E shall be used as standby mode energy consumption for 1 h.

If the maker has a power management system that switches the maker to off mode, the off mode power
consumption is taken as standby power.
26.Z2.5 Off mode
The power or energy consumption in the off mode is measured according to EN 50564:2011. The value of
Power in off position (P ) over 1 h is to be recorded as Energy in off position (E ).

E = E * (80 – 15) / (T – T )

NOTE 1 80 °C is judged to be the minimal coffee temperature of filter coffee to allow an optimal filtering process. The
relevant temperature increase by brewing is 80 °C – 15 °C = 65 °C. If the temperature difference after brewing (T – T )
B1 W
is 65 °C or higher, no correction is made, i.e. E = E .

NOTE 2 Real filter coffee preparation (with coffee powder) yields about 11 % higher brewing energy consumption,
according to the amount of hot moist coffee powder remaining in the filter.
26.Z3.5.3 Temperature correction of keeping hot energy
The measured energy consumption E to keep 50 % of the brewed coffee (for test: of the processed

NOTE 1 Filter coffee makers with thermos jug do not need active heating energy for keeping hot. In that case,
E represents the standby or off mode energy consumption of the rest of the coffee period after brewing.

Penalisation of too low keeping hot temperature of thermos jugs is based on brewing energy, see Note 3 below.
If the temperature difference of coffee (water) to ambient (T – T ) after 30 min is below 53 °C, the keeping

NOTE 2 76 °C is the minimal coffee temperature value, the same as used for the correction of pressure coffee

NOTE 3 Thermos jug makers: Penalisation by the relative temperature loss times the brewing energy instead of the
actual energy content presumes a keeping hot efficiency below 100 %. The energy necessary to cover the losses of
common jugs by common heating elements is much greater.
If no correction is made for thermos jug makers, E is equal to the standby or off mode energy consumption since

Add the following annex:
Annex ZA
(normative)

Specification of cups
ZA.1 General
Standardization of coffee cups for 0,12 l coffee and 0,04 l espresso is necessary in order to minimise the
influence of the used cup on energy measurement for coffee appliances. The main factor of influence is the
in-cup temperature measurement. The critical parameters influencing the in-cup temperature are the cup
geometry, the cup mass and
