Komo Fidibus Classic Grain Mill First Impressions

[@hometohomestead4536]

Do you have any experience baking with freshly ground flour or would you like to try it?

[@lorig8350]

You are adorable! Thanks for your authenticity! ❤

Nice video. Thank you. I have had the walnut Classic on order since 3/23. Due to arrive 10/23. Can not wait. Nice to see it in action and in an actual kitchen. I have another electric mill which does a beautiful job but love the wood case.

I love the Komo mills! I have the manual mill that I love. They are a work of art.

[@hometohomestead4536]

They absolutely are. We still love our mill and haven't regretted the purchase one bit.

Thanks for the video, I'm thinking of getting one of these

Don't sift it's all good for you. Listen to Sue's healthy minutes podcast

[@peter-x5k3s]

fine flour can be made with it?

[@56navin]

does it grind dry spices

Nice! How much power does that grain mill use? Is there a manual crank you can get for it, or does it need to be plugged in? I baked a loaf in our bread machine using some flour I ground in our grain mill, and other than being just a little more coarse, there was not a big difference.

[@hometohomestead4536]

It is not manual. It's a 360 W motor. Frankly, I knew I wouldn't use a manual one. If it really comes to it, I'll get my husband to pull it apart and connect the top stone to a handle. But in that case, I probably wouldn't be able to source grains so it wouldn't be an issue for long.

@@hometohomestead4536 Ours comes as a manual, but we got the motor attachment. I've ground both ways, and the manual crank is very tedious and time-consuming, though not difficult. Yours works faster, which makes sense, as the motor attachment uses only 90W. Now you just need to stock up on wheat berries while they are still available.

[@hometohomestead4536]

@@OnusBones Yep. My 12,5 kg won't last long. But I need containers and a place to put them first. 5 gallon buckets are not 'a thing' here. But I'll do some investigation. They can't be impossible to source. I've tried grinding wheat by hand before, that's how I knew I wouldn't be able to. The kind that converts with a separate motor costs waaaay too much here. I was surprised at how fast it gets the job done.

@@hometohomestead4536 Hmmm, I thought ours was one of the cheaper options available...

[@hometohomestead4536]

@@OnusBones Well, prices differ a lot here. What's cheap in the States often isn't here. Just like rice and beans are always used as the cheapest food pretty much you can eat. Not so much here. Beans are very expensive and rice is up there too.
