The Quiet Mark Certification latest guide conducts acoustic lab tests of market wide models to find the best high performing quietest models.
Bean-to-cup coffee machines can reach over 74dB, which is significant as an average conversation between two people is about 60dB, with raised speech measuring around 65dB, so the louder models could prove intrusive and difficult to talk over.
The Quiet Mark National Noise Report found 82% of Brits say it matters how loud an appliance is when buying a product.
Designed to represent a real home environment, with the reflective surfaces found in a modern kitchen, Quiet Mark’s expert team of acousticians listens, measures and assesses the entire coffee making process, from grinding the beans to the post-pouring events of a coffee machine, as it resets for the next cup. Quiet Mark triangulates core performance and sound measurement of hundreds of tested appliances to discover those among the quietest in its category currently available on the market.
Quiet Mark certified bean-to-cup coffee machines can be as quiet as 57dB. Consumers can easily check it’s quiet before they buy on QuietMark.com, the free to use online sourcing directory.
