The best hand mill on the market!,
By Big Jon (U.S. Army) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Country Living Hand Grain Mill
The country living grain mill is simply the best. It's solidly built to last a lifetime and easy to use. You really can't appreciate this mill until you try a cheaper one. It seems a little pricy, but you get what you pay for. If you are serious about grinding your own wheat (beans, corn etc) don't waste your time and money on anything less. You will either be discouraged and quit or you will eventually upgrade to a nicer mill like this one.
I bought mine about a year ago because I made the mistake of grinding my own wheat to make bread. I had a cheaper (but still quite serviceable) mill Hand Grain Mill for beer making. The difference in flavor and texture of fresh ground wheat flour is profound. It hooked me immediately and I have never gone back. The trouble is, grinding wheat flour by hand can be a soul destroying task. My next purchase was an electric mill. BlendTec Kitchen Mill - Grain and Flour Mill. It worked as advertised, but it was LOUD and cleanup was a real chore. I finally broke down and bought the country living mill and motorized it using a belt drive and electric motor. It works perfectly fine without the motor, but I am very lazy. If you want to hand crank it, an extension bar for the hand crank is a nice addition that will make the job almost effortless. This is a genuine flour mill that produces excellent fine flour in a single pass...or you can open it up to make a courser meal or a cracked grain. It works with any non-oily seeds and would probably serve for oil seeds if you were patient and cleaned the working parts frequently. It has very large steel plates that make short work of turning wheat into flour. You have to try it to really feel the difference, but I love mine and would buy another if mine were lost. I highly recommend this product whether you want to run it by hand, by bicycle or by motor. As far as I am concerned, it's the best hand mill available anywhere.

Very Impressive Mill,
By
This review is from: Country Living Hand Grain Mill
I bought my Country Living grain mill about a week ago. After thinking that I didn't need a costly mill to do what people have done for millennia, I realized that there has been profound progress in simple technologies. That's not to suggest that this mill is easy, that it will crank itself (although it will crank itself if you give it a motor), but the quality output versus frustration and difficulty input ratio is awesomely enhanced.
I appreciate the sense of sturdiness in this mill. Some things are merely heavy and somehow still manage to seem flimsy. This mill is fairly heavy, but the sense of sturdiness exuding from it belies its weight. However, the weight really matters little, because you're not going to be packing it around. The elegant lines and beautiful simplicity of this mill belong as a fixture in the kitchen, bolted securely to the counter. I made some bread yesterday. Sprinkled in with the wheat in the mill's hopper, I added some dried rosemary and caraway seed. The resulting flour showed no specks of these spices, but the aroma was incredible. For bread I prefer a grind that is slightly more gritty than this mill will provide at its finest setting, so I backed it off a bit toward the course side. I am planning on motorizing my mill, but there's one thing you should be aware of on this matter. The company specifies that the lifetime warranty is void if the mill is motorized by any means other than the Country Living motorization kit, which costs about as much as the mill itself. Since the warranty was one factor in my decision to buy this mill, I will have to deliberate on this for a while. However, the quality of construction and availability of spare parts such as bearings and plates seems to negate the necessity of a warranty anyway. It's one of those rare products that can offer such a warranty in trust that it will never be cashed in. This mill will define durability for your great grandchildren.

Excellent MILL and Great Exercise,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Country Living Hand Grain Mill
I wish I had purchased this Mill sooner. It is built extremely well, works as good as it was built and arrived early.
Additionally, it's now part of my exercise regime. I hooked it up to my stationary bike with a pully and a band, and now, when I exercise I also grind grain. How cool is that. My only regret is that I didn't buy this grinder sooner. It is not expensive when you consider the alternatives. Nothing else on the market like it.
