You set the standard on "Reviews". I love the food processor you inspired me to buy. Thanks for sharing!

[@LittleCountryCabin]

Thank you for the kind words! I really am pleased with the value and the quality of the grain mill but not surprised. KitchenAid is known for quality. Thanks for watching!

[@lynhanna917]

first run your grain through on the coarse setting then run that back through on the fine setting. You won't have to run your machine at the highest speed and your end product will be more consistent. Excellent review, thank you. The end of the brush is a mini screw driver so that you can remove the two screws so you can easily clean the inside of the mill.

[@LittleCountryCabin]

Thank you for the wonderful feedback! Have a blessed day❤️

My wife just ordered herself one of these mills, we're pretty excited to have it. Thank you :) Yes, our Heavenly Father does love us :)

Thank you for an excellent review! My Kitchenaid is older and it really helped me that you used an older one as well. This is in my budget and I will be purchasing.

[@LittleCountryCabin]

Thank you! KitchenAid stand mixers are the best! Mine has a lot of miles but still earning her keep😊. I purchased the grain mill from the KitchenAid website and received it quickly. Thanks so much for watching!

[@chevyguy6961]

My K5-A Lift Bowl mixer is over 50 years old. I just gave it a regrease and converted it to the newer solid state power speed control switch. It runs like a new machine and runs the grainmill with no problems. I usually run it between speeds 4-6, it is normal for the Kitchenaids to get warm when using the grainmill for extend periods. I let my mixer cool down after grinding about 6 cups of wheat berries.

[@vilkas-maria5666]

Just came across your videos, including einkorn . Don’t Own a KitchenAid mixer, but I do have a Vitamix blender with the dry grains container attachment. Will try that. I never used mine. Will try it for einkorn.

After watching this review i checked it out on Amazon. You said you bought for 99, now they are 149......thanks to our inflation. I found a place to buy the grain berries. Going to try making my own flour. That will be a first. Thanks for the great review. I came across your channel from Marys Nest. Both of you have great channels. I even sub'd.

[@LittleCountryCabin]

Thank you so much for the kind words! Mary is a sweet and dear friend. I’ve heard from several subscribers that the grain mill was more. I’m thankful I got it when I did. It’s still a good price for an entry level grain mill but, yes, inflation is hitting everyone hard these days. I would love to hear your results with your bread making🤗. Thanks so much for the sub and God bless❤️

[@mishalea]

Very nice review. It sure did do a pretty job on the flour. Oh shucks, I was hoping to see how you cleaned out the oil inititially before the 1st use. Great that it has a 1 yr warranty as well. Thank you for the advice, my friend. 😊 Looks like a good investment. Blessings to you and your family!💖🙏🌻

[@LittleCountryCabin]

Thank you for the kind words! The oil was not even noticeable so I just gave it all a quick wash in some warm soapy water and made sure it was completely dry before using.

Thank you for watching and commenting🤗. A word of caution from my experience since this video. I have found that you should only grind about a cup of grain at a time to prevent overheating the flour. You can let it rest/cool and continue on until you have what you need. I still love this grinder as an introduction to grains.

[@cliffmolz8719]

Hello, we recently purchased the KitchenAid wheat grinder attachment after I did a little research. This attachment seemed to be the optimal in price and for the amount of flour we needed since it's just my wife and I and we are retired. I enjoyed your video, but the one thing I have also been interested in is if your KitchenAid heated up (the motor) and how quickly it did? Did you have to shut it down for a little bit? I did read some stories where this occurred. I have not used ours yet, but have placed a lot of the wheat berries I purchased (175 pounds) in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers for long-term storage purposes. just a heads-up that the grinder was $139.00 when we purchased it two months ago and it's now $149 plus. Thank you for the video and God bless you as well! Cheers

[@LittleCountryCabin]

Great questions! After having used the mill for awhile now I do find that the motor does tend to warm up some. I haven’t really experienced enough heat to stop grinding but I’m only grinding a small amount at a time. What is more concerning to me is the heating of the flour from the friction. I feel like I can only grind about a cup of the grains at a time because they start getting warmer than I’m comfortable with. I don’t mind doing small batches but I’m sure I’ll research the more expensive mills in the future because I’ll want to grind more at one time. I still believe in this little mill for someone wanting to try their hand at grinding without the bigger investment. I realize how blessed I am to have gotten mine at $99. Thank you so much for watching and for the great questions. If you have more questions please feel free to comment again. God bless!❤️

[@yvonnehinchey5811]

Congratulations !! I considered this attachment but my Kitchen Aid is very old !! It's not working real well (It might just need oiling ) so I bit the bullet and got a Mockmill !!

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

Oh Jackie! This is such a nice review! You explain the features and cautions well and your voice is soothing to the ear. How is your grain mill holding up? How much flour do you grind at a time, usually? I tried several mills before settling on a KoMo Fidibus 21 grain mill, which was designed by the same engineer, Wolfgang Mock, as the Mockmill. It has wood housing and looks pretty enough on the counter to leave it out on display. I considered the KA attachment years ago, but with the amount of wheat and other grains I grind, a dedicated countertop appliance seemed warranted. Enjoyed your review very much. Thank you. 🌼 Michele

[@LittleCountryCabin]

I’m late answering comments lol. Thank you for the kind words of encouragement! I’m still very pleased with the mill but it is definitely an entry level mill. I can only grind around a cup at a time before the motor warms up. The grain at this point is also beginning to warm up. I must say that my KitchenAid is over 15 years old so that could have some bearing on the motor. I would still highly recommend it for anyone wanting to try their hand at grinding before they invested in a more expensive mill. I definitely see a heavy duty mill in my future and am grateful for your recommendations. Yes mam, pretty on the counter is very important to me too😁. It’s so good to see you back on KZbin!!! I feel we are kindred spirits and can glean from each other. Have a blessed weekend sweet friend❤️

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

@@LittleCountryCabin it sounds like it has been a good - and educational - experience! Definitely need to watch out for the motor on your KitchenAid. I have a feeling you will be showing us a new, standalone grain mill at some point in the future, but from the looks of things you're pretty busy at the moment! I feel the same, I enjoy our KZbin companionship very much! 🌼🌼

I love your videos! So glad you are getting into grinding grain. It is so much better for us than store bought flour! I got a Mockmill last year and the bread that I make has made great improvements in our overall health. Out of curiosity... does the KitchenAid attachment heat up the flour much? I understand that if the flour gets to hot during grinding some of the nutrients are lost. Thanks for the sweet videos!

[@LittleCountryCabin]

Oh goodness thank you for the sweet words! I I am loving grinding grain! You are so right about the better nutrition. Store bought is so over processed🤢. I did notice that during grinding the flour stayed at what I would call a normal temp. I didn’t notice any heat at all. Mockmill was on my list but when I saw the KitchenAid I thought that for the price I’ve got to try it out. I’m so glad I did! Time will tell if it will hold up but I’m very happy😀.

It depends on how fine you want your flour. There are 12 grinding settings (12 being super fine)and I like 10 or 11. At that setting the flour is still very fine. 2 to 4 would be a cracked wheat or very coarse grind. Remember to grind on the 10 speed setting on your mixer. Thank you for a great question! Hope this helps😊. God bless!❤️

[@LittleCountryCabin]

Just a few minutes but with the Kitchenaid you will want to make sure the mill isn’t heating up. You don’t want your fresh flour to get hot during the milling. I haven’t had too much heat with grinding just one cup but would definitely give it a rest for a few minutes between cups if you are grinding more.

This video is so helpful in helping me decide which grain mill to purchase, as I already have a Kitchen Aid mixer. Does anyone know if this mill could get damaged if it runs out of grain and keeps running? Thanks!

[@LittleCountryCabin]

I’ve never left mine running after the grains were finished but in my opinion I try not to let that happen because of the wear and tear on the grinding burrs. The sound changes when the grain hopper has emptied so that would clue you in as to when the grinding is finished if you happen to be in another room, etc. It would be best to stay with the mill tho.

It's very easy to disassemble your kitchen aid. In time, they simply need to have the old hardened bearing grease cleaned out and re greased. You'll notice it's running like new and will last another million years. A good cleaning and re greasing of the bearings every 5 yrs or so sure beats buying a new one!

I have a 4 yo KA mill attachment and I’ve been very disappointed in the coarse flour it puts out even on the fine setting. I use winter white berries. It’s like fine sand which gives the dough and bread a texture. I also hate having to Gerry rig a stand for the bowl to catch the flour, it’s too close to the stand.

[@LittleCountryCabin]

[@cnedwards]

Thanks for the grain mill tutorial. It was very helpful.....I'd like to know where you purchased yours for $99. I can't find it for less than $150. I weigh my flour instead of using a volumetric measurements. So, am I correct in assuming that a pound of wheat kernels would produce a pound of flour??

[@LittleCountryCabin]

Yes sir a pound of wheat berries should produce a pound of flour. I purchased my mill from the KitchenAid website a while back and prices have since gone up. From time to time they do run some good specials. A word of caution when grinding tho, about 1 cup at a time was all I could grind before the temp became a concern. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. God bless ya❤️

[@hotwireman49]

it would be interesting to see it by weight. if one weighs 1 cup of grain, does one yield the same weight of flour? it stands to reason that one should. Have you tried that? what were your results?

[@TheindefatigableGovernor]

How close to commercial flour does this mill come? IN OTHER WORDS, is it as finely ground as store flour? Thanks. Great video.

[@LittleCountryCabin]

Thank you for the great feedback! I would consider the coarseness to be very close to commercial flour after you sift out the bran and germ depending on what setting you started with. You could also try running it through the mill a second time to make an even finer flour. Just a note, be cautious of heat when you are grinding the berries. You may need to pause from time to time to allow the grinding wheels to cool off if you are grinding a larger amount of berries. Thanks so much and God bless❤️

I haven’t in mine yet but I don’t use it exclusively now. You might try running it back through and see if that makes a finer flour. Thanks so much for the input. I’ll pay closer attention next time and see if I notice a difference🤗

[@reneehughes7860]

Question, can you run all purpose flour through it to make it even finer?

[@LittleCountryCabin]

I’ve never tried it but I think it’s a great idea. I personally don’t know of a reason why it wouldn’t be successful. I’ll have to give it a try😃

I can’t get it apart. To clean the the oil from the grind Ing burrs.please help. Me😢how do I do that?

[@LittleCountryCabin]

KitchenAid has a great, short video that should help. The disassembly is about half way through. Let me know if this helps🤗. The link is below. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZKmZnemZsanjLc

Did you notice any metal shards in the flower? I have been seeing that happen with a few different grinders so now I’m paranoid. And I don’t want to waste $100 or more if that is the case.

[@LittleCountryCabin]

I haven’t had that happen to me thankfully. Wow, that would make me paranoid too! I wonder if the cheap knock offs are the problem. eBay has a lot of those. Thanks so much for the great comment and God bless❤️

@@LittleCountryCabin it could be a cheap mill problem, glad to know there wasn’t issues with this one! ❤️ God bless you too

grind Coffee? Thanks

[@LittleCountryCabin]

The manufacturer says coffee beans should not be ground in this mill. The beans are very oily and could ruin the grinding burrs for grinding your grains. Thank so much for asking and for watching. God bless!

[@missioncreekfarm7715]

You will burn out your motor if you grind on a high speed, also you will heat up the flour. Best to run it no higher than 2 or 3.

[@LittleCountryCabin]

Thanks for that input! Actually, following the manual instructions, the highest speed is what they recommend. I did notice that one cup of grain at a time was about all I could grind before I had to rest the grinder because of the flour starting to warm. I’ll try a slower speed and see how that works out. Thanks for sharing your great advice and God bless❤️

[@missioncreekfarm7715]

@@LittleCountryCabin Hmm, true, that's what the manual says. Maybe they told me to run it slower because mine is a refurbished machine... works well though, no issues going slow.

[@LittleCountryCabin]

@@missioncreekfarm7715 I’m going to give the slow go a try😁

[@missioncreekfarm7715]

@@LittleCountryCabin Yeah, I tend to need several cups of flour, and give it a break between batches to let the machine cool off. Maybe I am too cautious, but I have heard stories of burning them out using the grinder attachment.

[@LittleCountryCabin]

I totally agree. With the cost of replacing things these days we have to take care of what we have😉

You can swap out your worn out gears for 50 dollars and about 1 hour worth of work.

That’s great info! Thanks🤗
