Grain Mill Wheat Flour Grinder, Stainless Steel Metal Burrs (Deluxe Grain Mill)

So... it is a pretty good work out to grind enough grain for a couple loaves of bread! For reference I am a 59 year old retired US Marine and I am fairly strong and in pretty good shape - and like I said... it was a good work out! For my first batch, I was gonna grind enough for four loaves - but ran out of gas after two! And today I ordered the motor! One thing I discovered... it works a whole lot better on a kitchen counter than it does on a table. The sturdiness of the counter made for a much better experience.

Purchased 5 years ago, have used sporadically in that time. It grinds a good whole wheat flour, which I've used numerous times. It's work to grind flour from wheat or rice, but since it's a manual mill, that's to be expected. Just need more counter tops that are of sufficient depth for it to mount to.

Extremely happy with this mill as I didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars. Don't be scared off because it's a manual crank. Yes, it'll take some elbow grease but it really isn't horrible. Almost therapeutic. Happy with my purchase and would recommend.

Great grinder/mill for making flour, but would like it to make a finer flour, was a little coarse. So far I have used it two times just learning the basics.Note you will get a workout, but burning some carbs to make carbs seems like a good thing.

With windmill farms showing up everywhere and reliable energy sources going away there will even be rolling blackouts in our near future. Not to mention storms are other natural disasters that can knock out power. We wanted a manual way to grind our grains so we decided to get this mill. Seems to be very solid and well designed. Simple to use but if you're not in half decent shape you may find the grinding a bit tougher than you may think. We tested it on hard white, hard red and kamut. It did a fine job on all three.We packed it back in the box and will use it when an emergency arises.The directions stated how to put it together but ours had the grinding wheel already installed which makes us think we may have recieved a used one. Not a good business practice if true.Highly recommended

I was looking for a grain mill. Store-bought flour can often be rancid, or not contain the nutrients that freshly-ground flour contains.At first I was looking into an electric mill, but they were expensive and reviews for many of them said that they didn't mill flour very finely. I didn't want to have to pass flour through twice, especially after spending a few hundred on a mill.So I opted for this manual mill. Now that we have it, I can't imagine why anyone would need an electric. Sure it's a lot of work, but it's also a lot of exercise, and a lot of fun! My wife and I take turns cranking the handle, and we're just amazed at the slightly warm fine flour that comes out.So far we've made fudge brownies with soft white wheat, and just today made whole wheat bread with hard white wheat. Both came out just wonderfully, so much fresher than with store-bought flour, and you could never imagine that they were whole wheat. Of course the bread doesn't rise as much as with white flour, but the flour was so deep and complex that it really didn't matter, plus the bread is more filling.Each time, it only took a few minutes to grind the flour. I would estimate we grind a cup of flour in 3 or 4 minutes. You want to go at a steady pace where you won't get tired too quickly, but where the flour is coming out pretty fast. Short bursts sometimes will get a lot more done, then slow down to a more sedate pace.But seriously, don't be lazy. Just start baking a few minutes earlier. It's good for your body, and it is reminiscent of our grandparents or great grandparents who had to do a whole lot more manual labor. Every time we grind flour, I comment how I feel like I'm back in the 1800s.I think we've grown overdependent on our electrical appliances, such as mixers and blenders. This grain mill has been putting me in the mood to do more things manually.

Love the ease of use with this mill. Love that you can add a motor, even though I don't think we will. Love the fact that you can grind super fine to course.My only complaint is that I wish it gripped the counter a little better, but we put shelf liner under it and that helped.Overall we are completely satisfied with our purchase.

I just turned a bag of pinto beans into a nice jar of bean flour, after cleaning it with a hopper of white rice, and now am enjoying some sweet endorphins while I admire the results.The unit is crazy simple, easy to get up and running. The flour is fine and consistent, in fact It might not go coarse enough to do my beer malts with, but I will try it out and update this when I do. It's a good little workout on the arms, but that's how love gets put into the flour. I am very excited to put this thing to the test with all sorts of different things; oats, peas, coffee, etc.Rye malt milled just fine on 1/4 turn coarseness.
