Is this quiet enough to use on the desk in an office environment? Is the milk good enough to use for latte art?

Definitely quiet enough for office environment (no loud steam) as to the foam quality for art, I'm not sure, but I think the weight of it over a standard frothing pitcher might be a problem.

Extremely quite, less then a desk fan for noise level. You can do some art but I'm not sure how intricate it can get. Big heart no problem.

Yes it is... We love this machine. Small enough to fit into a desk too. Great size.

Hi Sandy, It's very quiet. If it wasn't for the lights telling me its done I won't know.

I suppose it depends upon your office-- you might have your office mates surrounding your desk wanting lattes and mochas! Seriously, it is quiet and should not be a problem in the average office. As for latte art part of your question-- I am not sure what type of art you want to do with your foam. You can definitely make a picture perfect latte or mocha with it. Please note that the stiffness of the foam can vary with the type and freshness of the milk you use.

There is a very soft whirling. Should be fine in an office. Don't know about latte art. The milk becomes foamy

How close are your coworkers? What is the background noise like in the office? This is not a quiet keyboard, but if you have a reasonable level of white noise, or reasonably sized cubes, it won't be an issue.I love this keyboard and would make my coworkers deal even if I sat right next to one.

It is not loud. It;s very quiet. You can hear it while using it but it would to disturb others in an office.

Not loud but could be annoying in an office space. It spurts out hot water to a cup and could some people might consider it loud.

Hmmm, well I guess it depends how thick the carpet is. When I use it on the hardwood floor, it is quieter. I think it would be a bit loud for an office. The motor works harder when the carpet is thicker

It's pretty quiet, but I'm not sure how well it would work at the office. I bought it to tuck under my desk, but it slides around all over the wood floor, and the pedals are just high enough that I have to sit at a very awkward angle on my chair.

Ours has been noisy from Day 1, approx 6 months ago. Even half as noisy would be welcomed, but it works perfectly and makes excellent lattes & espresso, so we tolerate it. I believe the loud noise is part of its design, not a symptom of something wrong. Hope this was helpful. Happy holidays!

It is not quiet, but it is not overly noisey. The sound is not disturbing...seems rather normal sound a juicer should make.

I do not know what you consider loud but I think it is reasonable considering it is grinding paper into confetti. It is not nearly as loud as a blender.

This juicer is definitely not quiet, but not overly loud either. I am very pleased with it's performance otherwise. It's very strong and has impressed me in it's ability to make sorbets out of frozen fruit and making nut butters. I hope this helps.

Yeah mine does the same too after using for about 2 weeks. It's really annoying especially now when I returned to work. It's difficult for me to use because the walls not soundproof (it's a room divided in half with rock sheet) in a small medical office. I fold a small piece of paper towel in it because I noticed that milk goes up there. It kinda helps a bit. It would be quiet and then squeek and then quiet and squeek no matter what I do though. Just a matter of how long it would stay quiet. Can't figure out why.

Yes it is pretty loud. not as loud as crushing ice in a blender but far from quiet. To work properly you need about a tray of ice. It's a pretty situational appliance but it does come in very handy when unexpected guests stop by and you have no chilled ice. how well it works 8/10, how practical it is 5/10. very cool item over though.

It does make noise but its not that loud. I have it right next to my desk. when its not running it is silent.

The machine is pretty quiet - I had it set up on a kitchen counter and is was not a problem, noise wise!

I don't think it is very noisy at all - you can definitely hear it perking while making coffee, but no noise at all when it is done.

Hi, Sorry about my delayed response. I ordered this fridge for a student lounge area, so I'm not sure if the noise it makes in there would be bothersome in an office setting. Dave
