Classic

This is the third meal I bought unless a month. First one was a stand-up grinder about $80 worked okay it was very very loud very messy and it took a long time. Second one I bought was a big 1.3 horsepower continuous feed but it is not mill flour and it was almost $220. This one is the third one and if you want to skip the process in which I did just buy this one!!!!!!!!.. Had someone put a review out like this one I'm giving it would have saved me a lot of time hassle. #1 this thing is quiet compared to the first two I bought I used it this morning did 4 lb and I was standing right next to it and me and my wife have a conversation no problem #2 I did 4 lb in about 8 minutes fine flour great for cooking baking it's a continuous feed and holds a lot of flour if I had a guess I would say five and a half 6 lb would be max. #3 this thing is so much easier The mess is only when you're done as long as you push the container all the way in and you're kind of snap there's actually a filter inside that prevents any dust coming out. #4 clean up pretty simple everything broke down very simple to rinse out and sink. And if you're worried about the components inside the actual grinding part there is no way to access it and all you have to do is once in a while put some rice in there to clean it out per the directions. #5 I thought about going with the neutral Mill harvest it looks prettier but I'm satisfied with this one. Also if you are doing bulk flour this is the one you want. #6 I researched and googled the nutramil harvest it is more expensive by almost $200 more than this one it doesn't do as many cups inside it as far as continuous feed I personally have never used one but what I found out is the harvest one can do super fine powder if you are going to be doing cakes a lot then you might look into the harvest one if you're going to be baking bread cookies biscuits that kind of thing this is the one you want to buy

First off, I cannot understand the negative reviews. I love this machine. It's enormous, way bigger than I expected, processes the flour quickly, and leaves a clean workspace when the job's done. There won't be any dust in your kitchen or countertop if you just push the receiving bin in completely and don't leave it hanging out as apparently many one-star reviewers do. Simple as that. Some reviewers had problems with removing the O-ring sealed top of the receiving bin. I had no such issues. It you know how a bayonet mount works and know "rightly-tighty, lefty-loosey" you'll have no problems. Simple. It grinds quickly into quite fine flour, maybe not quite 00 pizza flour, but darn close. For bread or pastry, it's perfect. The result is identical to my commercial bread flour and all-purpose flour. It is loud and I use my power tool ear muffs. Most people wouldn't care I suppose, but 80 db causes hearing loss, so be smart. It's not pretty like those wooden mills that proudly sit on a countertop, but then it doesn't cost $800. I bought mine because it was cheap and if it didn't work out, well, I could deal with it. Instead, I am wonderfully surprised. The first bread is primary fermenting as I write this. For the naysayers of steel mills, which this mill is, I checked the temperature coming out the grinding mechanism, and got readings from 85-95 degrees F. That should not cause any harm, and I'll bet the stone mills get equally hot once the mass of the stone heats up. The stone mills are not so pure it seems. Many are chunks of god-knows-what kind of rock, put together with either glue or ceramics, and many are straight aluminum oxide (i.e., sandpaper). In the good-old days when solid stone was used, there was evidence of stone residue wearing down teeth. Whatever abrasive you use, it will get into your bread. You can't win, but I feel safer with steel. Iron is in my blood. If any reader doesn't know the "why" of a home flour mill, it's simply that whole wheat flour starts going downhill the moment it is milled. In three months the resulting bread is noticeably inferior; in six, it's not at all tasty; and in a year it's downright horrible. You cannot buy fresh flour in a store. This bread I'm making now was doing its autolyse 20 minutes after milling and primary fermenting 45 minute after that. That's fresh bread.

After many years of ArmStrong (hand-crank) flour making, the NutriMill turns that job into a pleasure. I read reviews galore, and to tell you the truth, many of them are scary. Some say it is almost like having a 747 engine running in the kitchen, others insinuate that it blows flour everywhere - like a hurricane dust storm combination... What in the world are these people doing? 1. How loud is it? Only about 2/3 as loud as my blender... You can carry on a normal conversation around it while it is running. You only run it a few minutes - noise is NOT a problem! 2. How messy is it? If you put the canister all the way in, there is way less mess than crank mill. Yes, if you do not seat the canister all the way in, it will blow flour out - not hard to do, just remember to give it a reassuring push before turning it on. I was pleasantly surprised how cleanly it works. A couple of taps on the canister top and filter greatly reduces spillage from removing cover. 3. How fast is it? Very fast! No, not instantaneous - you are milling good quality flour, not firing a cannon... Is it really important to find a mill that may take 7 sec. less, or is quality the goal? If you have ever milled flour, I think you will be quite pleasantly surprised how quickly it works. 4. How hot is the flour? Nutrient preservation depends on not overheating the flour - this mill produces flour less than 120 degrees F. If you want it cooler, put the grain in the freezer before grinding. It won't get over room temperature that way. 5. What to grind? So far, I have done Red, White & Gold wheat (both hard and soft), Millet, Pop Corn, Rye, Barley, Lentils, Peas, Black beans, soybeans, Garbanzo, Pinto beans, Navy beans. All of them produced a very fine flour! Have made some very interesting breads, pizzas, biscuits, pastries, pancakes and crackers with them! (Just don't do oily grains - NO peanuts, flax, etc.) What would I change? Well, not much! It would be nice to be able to get extra canister bases and to have tops for them. That way you could do different flours and have storage for them. (I make more mess transferring flour into other containers than in the grinding) Aside from that, I am one VERY HAPPY grinder/baker/eater! (Now gotta keep up with family special requests - today it is pita pockets, baguettes and several different crackers for new years) Note: I was a bit concerned about power outages - what to do? Well, have tried it on my power inverter - works great. Of course, my generator will run it too. Five minutes every couple of days is definitely doable... There WILL be bread! *** 18 Month update*** After months of use and several 50 pound bags of grain ground, there is not a single thing I would change in above review! Grinds just as well as it did first day! Couldn't be happier! (Two daughters now call in their special flour requests..... Dad's Nutrimill fills the bill for them too...)

I started baking bread with a Bosch Universal and the Family Mill attachment. The mill was easy to use and clean, and was very quiet but, being a conical burr grinder it only made fairly coarsely ground flour. The bread was good but was limited to a coarse, whole wheat sandwich bread, so I eventually quite making it. This year I discovered the "no knead bread" method and started making wonderful artesian sourdough. Now I wanted finer flour, but the shelf life with store bought whole wheat flours was still a question. Enter the Nutrimill............. The flour texture is still slightly coarser than KA brand flours, but very close on the finest setting so no issue with flour quality. Noise.....It is loud. I have ear protection and have decided to use it though if I didn't have it I would probably do without. The noise level drops off just a couple of feet away, so I could load it turn it on and walk away. Dust....It is dusty though I'm not sure how much is leakage and how much spillage after the milling and moving to other containers. For me, I have decided to use it in the garage so the dust doesn't matter. During my last session, I spilled a cup of flour on to the floor, but on the garage floor was no big deal. Clean-up....The burrs run at high speed, and similar to high speed coffee grinders it creates some static. When I finish milling there is a light coating of flour on all surfaces of the Nutrimill inside and out. I have been dusting it off with a pastry brush, but think the best choice will be a portable vacuum, especially if it is used in the house. I just hold it over the trash can and brush away, not worrying about the airborne dust, but in the house? They also say to just "rinse out" the flour bowl parts. The problem is when you mix water and flour you end up with glue, so you have to clean every nook and cranny carefully not to leave any residue. Cleaning it dry with a vacuum would probably be best. Cleaning takes a good deal of time, so I would not grind for every use like I did with the Family mill, but grind and refrigerate a two or three week supply each time. Durability.....The plastic parts are made of the same kind of plastic as the Bosch and Family mill and they showed no wear after several years of use. I am confident if I handle the plastic parts carefully they will last. The moving parts, (electrical and milling) have a limited lifetime guarantee so very confident this mill will last long term. Warranty......The warranty is limited to the original owner and requires a copy of the receipt to honor the factory warranty. I purchased this from "fulfillment by Amazon" and before purchase I emailed L'Equipt and they indeed confirmed it would be covered under the lifetime warranty, but be careful of a 3rd. party transaction.

After doing extensive research into store bought flours, finding that almost everything on store shelves are either riddled with lead or cadmium. I've had cancer once, I don't need to do it again. So I finally decided to get this miller and some wheat berries. It mills SO FAST!!! 2 cups in about a minute. Yeah it's noisy but it's not unbearable. Slightly louder than a coffee grinder. The design and set up is easy to figure out and understand, and Iblove the directions. Not only explains what things are but explains why. First milling at the highest setting, the flour came out really well and fine. I ran it through one more time to get extra fine, soft flour. I ground up 5 cups in under 10 minutes and that includes the 2nd run through. It does get kinda hot but nothing alarming. I am so thrilled with this!!! Definitely should've bought this sooner. Everyone needs this!!

I started grinding grains on the Family Grain Mill by hand. This is a wonderful little mill for hand grinding, although it doesn't grind grain fine enough for me on the first pass so I usually run grain through twice for baking. it is really adjustable for cracked wheat cereal and polenta, etc. We also have the motorized attachment for the Kitchen Aid mixer. It does work but the Kitchen Aid tends to heat up so we went looking for an electric mill to do most of our grinding. I found that the two best grain mills for our price range were the Nutrimill and the Wonder Mill. We finally decided on the Nutrimlll because of its ability to start and stop with grain in it and because it is one unit instead of a separate canister unit by its side. Every product has its backers and its detractors and I will not try to tell you that this is better than the Wonder Mill because I haven't tried the Wonder Mill and probably never will if this Nutrimill keeps on performing like it does. I have read several reviews on the dust and noise problems with this mill. First the dust: This mill is absolutely dust free! We had no trace on our counters after milling with this mill, but we do have traces of flour dust when we grind electrically with the Family Grain Mill. The only time we have any flour is when we open the canister and the cyclone cup. Problem solved--Open the canister over the kneading area and use this flour for kneading. Actually, if you open the canister carefully the flour problem will be negligible and certainly no more of a problem than when you open the Wonder Mill canister and clean out the cup from the videos that I have seen. The canister seal is tight and could be a problem for some people, but if you use flour or cornstarch per instructions it will make opening the canister so much easier. Leaving the canister part way out would be the equivalent of leaving the connection nozzle out of the Wonder Mill canister and wondering why you have flour blowing out all over the place. Make sure the canister is pushed all the way in. Not too hard a project. Now the noise. I have listened to all of the grain mills on videos and they are all noisy. Comparing the noise of the Nutrimill to the Wonder Mill is like comparing the noise of a robin to a red winged blackbird in my opinion. We find the Nutrimill to be quite a bit quieter than our Family Grain Mill on the Kitchen Aid mixer. We have not tried this mill out on course settings but we have our Family Grain Mill for making cream of wheat or making diastatic malt so that is not a problem for us. Also we do not know of the longevity of this product thus the four stars instead of five. Truthfully, when I read some of the negative reviews of this product before I bought it, I was prepared to be a little unhappy with it. I'm not! Good machine so far. Time will tell.

I got hearing protection cause I knew the mill was gonna be loud. Can't hear a thing with them on! So the loudness of the mill isn't a consideration at all for me. I choose to blend whole white wheat so I don't know about the cracked wheat issues that others talk about. I can tell you that it mills a no. 10 can of wheat in less than ten minutes. My Vitamix would get so hot that I was afraid of major meltdown (pun not intended). It mills millet in very little time and emmer wheat (Farro). The other day I got the flour bagger and how exciting it is to whip up a bag of fresh flour and give it as a present. All the fresh flour goes straight into the bag--no mess and no fuss. I'd give my wheat mill 100 stars but alas Amazon doesn't allow for that! You can get the flour bagger from PleasantHillGrains. They seem totally honest. I got my bagger a couple of days before I expected it. So let me digress for a few moments here. Your mill will come to you in a fairly small appliance form. The extender ring that goes atop of the motor section is in the flour bowl for storage. Take that out and you will see 3 small "prongs" that will hook into the hopper. I was a bit confused but the pictures made it clear what and when I was missing. Easy to sort out. Take a minute to calm down and think it through! There is a "ring" on the back that can be removed either for spot cleaning or to attach your mill to the flour bagger if you choose to go that direction. I should tell you that the flour bagger bowl is quite large. But the upper portion of the mill (containg the motor)goes right on top of the bagger. You won't find it locked or secure--but placed correctly I bagged one bag this week and not one speck sprayed anywhere. I think all told this thing weighs less than 15 pounds which includes the flour bagger section. I really like my Nutrimill!

Great product. Mills the wheat berries to a fine consistency. The mill does seem to get hot after being used for more than few minutes. Other than that it has great power and has been worth the money.

I've only used it a few times so far, but it's awesome! Easy to use & clean. Looks nice too! (just like pictured) Grinds my wheat nice & fine for my bread flour & very quickly (I've only tried the hard red wheat berries so far) Doesn't make a mess at all either which is awesome!

So far I found this machine is excellent . It's not loud like the one I had before. I only used it once , and I am happy with it.

This mill is great!! So glad I got this one! Very easy clean up, doesn’t over heat flour, my flour was 84 degrees after milling. It makes very nice fine flour, does not leave a mess and it’s fast! Work like a damn!

Works great, really grounds seeds to a fine powder. EASY to clean. Making my bread is such a pleasure now.

Love this mill. Have used it many times and the flour comes out just as I need. Only downside is the noise which is to be expected for a mill. Don't be surprised when it sounds like a little jet engine taking off.
