[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried making flour from wheat berries and was surprised with how easy it was to set up and grind. The Grain Mill is as sturdy as I expected, and it worked flawlessly. Simple to adjust the grind even while the machine was running.
This takes a bit of getting used to, but the first try went so well I am looking forward to being able to make my own cereals and flours!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The weight of the mill is a indicator of the design and robustness of its functionality. Upon my first use in grinding Rye Berries (which are an extremely hard grain), the mill went through the berries flawlessly. I absolutely love this item!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought one several months ago but didn’t get around to really using it till September. Since then I’ve milled more than 30 lbs of grain with it. It works very well and Mills a variety of grain from course to very fine. I’ve milled cake flour with milk mine several times and the flour works great in fine pastries. Very well made and should last for many years. The warranty is very good and the customer service is excellent.
Extremely loud and slow. It takes forever to finely grind flour from grain. You have to pause to let it cool down because it heats your grains which will destroy the motor of your kitchenaid and defeat the purpose of grinding fresh flour as it denatures the proteins and nutrients at that temperature. I have complained to kitchenaid but they can't do anything because the product is inferior to begin with so this slow, loud device is working as intended. I'm an avid home baker and this cannot keep up with me. Read reviews of other grain mills before you make the same mistake I did.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You can see by the example picture, the flour has a long way to fall. I stacked a large bowl upside down, then a smaller bowl right side up to catch the flour. I needed to hold it from tipping. Breathing in lots of flour is not a good thing. It would be nice if there were a funnel that took the flour into the bowl attached in place on the mixer.
That being said, it grinds wheat into flour as fine as any store bought flour. Very impressive!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always wanted to try making bread with very fresh grain. I expected the "process" of milling to be a bit of a chore but this attachment with the power of the base - wow ! Instant. And the bread was incredible. This is a wonderful investment.
I use this mill to grind my home grown flint and flour corns as well as sometimes grinding oats or rye.
It could not be easier to attach it, pour the grain in and switch it on. Using fresh grain makes a world of difference in the final flavor of the meal.
