[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was planing to buy a stand-alone grain mill for home use, but since we already have a KitchenAid stand mixer, the All Metal Grain Mill attachment was an efficient and cost-effective option. My interest is in breadmaking and I plan to mill a variety of hard grains for that purpose. My first attempt was with Kamut(r) wheat berries, which are quite hard, and the mill was able to turn them into a reasonably fine flour easily. Baking with the result was effective and successful. The only aspect of the mill that I'm not fond of is that long-term storage requires adding a light coating of mineral oil to protect the grinding surfaces from oxidizing - but it's not a big deal, just routine maintenance. It is easy to disassemble the entire unit for thorough cleaning, inspection, and parts replacement if necessary. Note: This unit will not mill grains to micro-fine flour, so be aware that the flour produced by the unit will be more granulated than typical store-bought flours. For typical breadmaking applications, it shouldn't be an issue.

Ok for coarse grinding

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good enough for getting gritty grains, not fine such as required for fine flour required for breads and cakes. It does get finer if your rerun the coarse floor.

Burr nicks

I have a professional Kitchen Aid mixer. I had to buy this porwerful machine because I make whole wheat bread and the Atisan model mixer could not handle the load. I have used the awesine mixer for over a decade and the grain grinder for about 5-6 years. I suspect the burrs of the grain grinder are shedding tiny tiny pieces of metal into the flour and just this morning I cleaned the burrs with a tooth pick and noticed tiny nicks on the burrs. Has anyone else seen this and is there any solution suggestions?

Don't waste your money

I bought this to make my own flours for baking. I have tried using it mostly for oat flour so far, starting with old fashion rolled oats. The process is painfully slow! It takes forever to get 1 cup of oats ground and the kitchenaid motor gets quite warm in the process. The flour was no better than what I was getting in the blender in a fraction of the time. The grinder is also difficult to clean and takes much longer than cleaning a blender. I will probably never use again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works very well. As advertised, it doesn’t grind as fine as commercial flour but does the job. The motor does get warm so grinding 4 cups or more requires cooling down the KitchenAid. If I were to use this every day or even every couple of days, I’d buy a stand alone mill. Not worth burning out my KitchenAid.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this Mill to add to my KitchenAid Stand mixer so I could grind my own fresh flour on demand. The quality is top-notch as all KitchenAid products. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to make their own flour and add another handy tool to their Stand Mixer toolkit. I absolutely love it.

Verified Purchase:No
I finally bought this in the fall of last year & wonder what took me so long to buy one! I asked serveral friends for recommendations on stand mixers, hands down it was 100% Kitchen Aid! I bought a kitchen Aid Artisian in Gloss Cinnamon! It is beautiful on my kitchen counter! It is the workhorse in my kitchen! It makes triple batches of chocolate chip cookies with ease. I have the mixer with the glass bowl. I ordered & use the stainless steel bowl, as it is easier for me to pickup. I have Osteoarthritis in both hands along with Fibromyalgia. This wonderful mixer has allowed me to keep baking& cooking for small to large groups! I have a Bosch Universal Plus that I love but it is in my pantry as the Kitchen Aid does not have a central column like the Bosch , that I constantly have to scrape down. Do your self or the baker in your life and get a Kitchen Aid!
