Cooking from scratch is made easier with a stand mixer, and made all the more literal with this grain mill attachment. Use it to make flour out of wheat, corn, rye, oats, rice, buckwheat, barley, and millet–any low-moisture, non-oily grain (peanuts and coffee are a no-no with this tool). Make up to 10 cups at a time. The mill is sturdy, heavy, and easy to assemble and attach to the mixer’s hub. Adjust the knob to the desired grind, fill the unit with grains, and crank it up to 10. When you’re through, brush it clean with the small brush included in the kit. If you need to, wash it by hand, but don’t put it in the dishwasher. –Betsy Danheim

I have Chinese Chestnut trees and one of the ways we use the chestnut is to grind it into flour. It takes days to prep the chestnut for grinding. After whirling it in the food processor it reduces the nut to large pieces. We then slowly dry them in the oven. It takes about a week to thoroughly dry the nut. We had been using the food processor from start to finish, but it takes many steps of sifting, whirling, sifting, etc. You get the picture. After reading reviews we decided to purchase the KitchenAid grain mill. We processed four jelly-roll trays in 3 hours. The flour is perfect, and for as slow as it took to mill the chestnuts into fine flour, it was still faster than the old method. Why would we want to continue to bother with chestnuts? Chestnut flour contains high quality proteins with essential amino acids, dietary fiber, and low amount of fat. It also contains vitamin E, vitamin B group, potassium, phosphorous, and magnesium. It runs about $26 a pound on-line, so we think it is worth the time and effort. I digress. I am pleased with my new grain mill and hope to get many years of use from it.

the Likes: the price point is good; the flour is warm, not hot, after being milled; easy to use, but if you grind grain often, it gets old taking it off and on frequently.the Dislikes: kind of loud, I use ear protection; the fine grain is acceptable but not great; slow to grind a fine flour.for the price, it is a useful device.

Flour is getting expensive and hard to find. I’m a home cook and bake sourdough bread mostly. I bout some wheat berries and this milk is so perfect for home use. I milk cracked wheat and soak that overnight. I mill one cup of berries and add that flour to two cups of store bought flour. Both killings work perfectly. Cleanup is easy as you just dust the assembly with the enclosed brush. I kept the original box to house the attachment. As far as how long it takes to mill, it is less than five minutes from box to return to box. The nutrition and flavors this option adds to my sourdough is amazing. I really love having this option. I also have used milled flour for banana nut bread cut half with white flour for an excellent quick bread. I do recommend it!

It was easy to use…just be sure it is tightly screwed-in and check often. The set screw works itself loose.

On the urging of my sister, I bought this grain mill so I could grind my own rye berries. So worth the cost. Whole grains are less expensive and have a super long shelf life which gives me a lot of flexibility. I love that I just weigh out 200g of rye, mill it like 5 min or so and I have 200g of freshly milled rye flour at the texture I want! You can have super fine or coarse or anywhere in between. Love that!If you bake with whole grains, this is totally worth it. If you use only white flour this will not work because grains are purchased with germ in place, unprocessed. GREAT if you use whole grains!

I have had the mill almost a year now and wanted to give my opinion. Figure with a year of use I would know enough about it to provide a decent assessment for others looking into it.First and foremost, I do not believe this would be a good flour mill for bread/ pastries. However I knew this going in as that is not why I wanted it. I wanted something that was easier to crack grains or provide a course meal and for this use, it is a great mill. As others have pointed out it is slow, it is slower the more fine you have the adjustment. Even on the finest settings I would not want to make bread with it unless your goal is cornbread, then it works. I have a few other mills from a motorized Country Living that I purchased in 2007 and use ALL THE TIME, a Komo Classic (in beautiful dark Walnut vs the standard beech), and a wondermill Jr. I use the Country living and or the Komo for bread/ fine flours often. However the Country Living sucks to swap out for the corn/ bean auger more so when it is motorized.Thus when the kitchenaid went on sale for under $100 I bought it. I often crack dent corn or popcorn in it before running through other mills. I also use it for making bulgur for salads and several other course grain uses. But my favorite is what I used it for this morning. Hot breakfast cereal. I course crack the dent corn on the max setting. Then run the corn and everything else again at 2 settings finer than the middle setting (guess you would call it 8 out of 12 closer to the finest setting if that makes sense) to get what you see here. My favorite cereal blend is 0.5C each of dent corn, hulled barley, brown rice and Kamut. I cook 1C of this blend with 4C water a nice pinch of redmond salt, and a few tablespoons of coconut oil in my Le Creuset rice cooker (without the bubble plate). Bring it to a boil, stir (I use a wooden chopstick) cover and turn to the lowest your burner will go for 20 minutes. Top with whatever.Everyone in the family likes something different for toppings, honey/ maple syrup/ muddy pond, various spices, dried fruit, milk, nuts etc. I like mine with freeze dried apple dices, apple pie spice blend, and a drizzle of muddy pond sorghum syrup, which is what you see in my photo. And let me tell you, DANG is it great tasting, warms you up, makes the place smell amazing, and it will keep you full for a while even with moderate energy being burned doing what ever task like shoveling snow or whatever.The mill is easy to break down to clean when needed, I just store mine in a 2G gallon freezer bag and clean it every season, otherwise I just open the plates to the coarsest setting and shake whatever is remaining in the garbage, and wipe with a dry towel after each use. But once a season I tear it all the way down and clean it well and hit the grinder shaft end with a smear of food safe grease in the adjustment knob mating socket. You will see this the first time you tear it down from the factory.

It works fine, im trying a new diet without fine flour so this coarser grind is great.But i am disappointed i recieved one that came with grain crumbs and powder all over it. Amazon doesnt have an option for that. If i recieved a reduction in price i would be satisfied.

I bought it to for wheat flour to make roti (indian flatbread) but the flour wasn’t fine enough even on it’s finest mode, so not going to give bad review just for that. The flour is probably fine enough to make some whole grain breads and or maybe fresh flour for pasta and stuff. But anyone looking into this to make roti, please don’t get it.The attachment was moving slightly when used, even after following exact installation steps. It is pretty easy to clean overall.If you don’t need very fine flour, it’s not a bad product for the price.
