The Kitchenaid Grain Mill - what I think of it and how to use it

I love my Kitchenaid Grain Mill and think its an attachment that many people would find useful. Its fairly easy to use and clean.

I found this extremely useful. Getting ready to buy a mill grinder and already have the kitchenaid mixer so this is the way I will go. Thanks so much.

I just bought the older/vintage Kitchenaid grain mill online. I saw the same models years ago at a thrift store still in the box and have kicked myself for the last 10 years since I left it behind! Im retired now and have time to devote to food prep and bread baking etc. Oh well I finally have one on the way. Im so excited. We have Amish sources for whole grains in our rural area. I look so forward to this new adventure. Thanks so much for sharing.

I’m allergic to preservatives in breads of any kind. So I’m starting to grind my own hard white berries for flour. I bought the one your showing. I’m alone so I don’t need more than this like the mockmill. I’m waiting for my grain berries today. I don’t make bread everyday so this might be perfect for me. I also splurged and bought the vibrating sifter so I can get the hulls out and have a finer flour. I tried to find and buy a Bosh bread mixer but it’s no longer available. . Nice video TY

I make brown and white rice grits with this and they are yummy!

[@MyGreenNest]

Thanks so much!!!

[@TheHoracioestrada]

Thanks for the post. Question: Will we be able to make fine wheat flour for baking?

[@AnnaSeferyan347]

Bridgette, you an use it’s bowl for the milled flour ✌🏼

[@josim3514]

Thanks for the video. This attachment is not sold everywhere. I bought mine on Overstock with coupon. Where did you get your ipad holder? I need one like that in my life. 😋

[@mariannedwyer8402]

Would you say this grinds as finely as a grain mill? Does it leave a mess of flour dust all over? Thanks for your honest review!!

[@JhampaShaneman]

What watt is your KitchenAid in the video? I see some commentary you need a high wattage. Mine is the classic, 250 Watts

[@kerrymohammed7378]

Can i grind cooked grain in this mill ?

[@christianmarth9989]

Can this be used on the Artisan?

[@petesoebekti2022]

you can you use it on any mixer that accepts kitchenaid mixer attachments :) you can also use this on your 5 quart globe mixer :)

[@pipsnpop7982]

Can you grind coffee with it?

[@sigilvii]

No, it is too oily.

[@rodsofgod6863]

Can I grind my coffee with this attachment?😊

[@matthewrs7]

no. coffee has lots of oil

[@James-gz6iq]

Yes, soak in soapy water, rinse with hot water after.

[@1dlb]

@@James-gz6iq nope - not recommended

[@charanjeetchadha6855]

It doesn’t grind heavy grains

[@jessegreen94]

just trying to figure out when they started put engines on mixers lol

[@reknas78]

Wonder what kind of engine fuel I should buy....high octane gas or just diesel. Where is the gas cap located? ;)

[@reneehughes7860]

Couldn't hear a word you said while it was running.

[@connieordway9272]

I can't understand her words while the grinder is on. And the grinding sound was so loud that I couldn't listen to any more!

[@johnnyjimj]

And I thought my grain mill was noisy.... Hot Damn! At least mine grinds fine powdery flour from wheat berries at the rate of 1/2 pound a minute without overheating the flour and can easily grind 4 pounds at a time... Thanks for the video, I think I'll pass on that $30 'deal' I was offered ;-)

[@minastirith997]

Yours is kitchenaid too? Or some other brand? Could you share what brand it is?

[@johnnyjimj]

@@minastirith997 No, I was thinking to complement my KA with their mill attachment, sure it's a nice piece of equipment that would look great on a KA, but changed my mind after watching this video. I'm using a converted commercial coffee burr mill, it isn't perfect but its way more effective than the KA mill in the video. To make flour any finer I'd have to use a large, low speed commercial grinder, but they cost close to $10K, so I make do with that converted coffee mill. When I want to make extra fancy bread, I just sift the flour and use the coarse chunks (mostly bran flakes) to cover the loaves with after final shaping :-) If you ever want to use a coffee mill be aware you need LOTS of torque to grind hard wheat and you should replace the coffee burrs with some designed for wheat, which are of a different geometry (the coffee burrs work great for roasted, light beans, not so well for dense, compact wheat grains, which tend to lock the motor up)

[@peterallen9302]

This video is deceptive. Our KitchenAid attachment grinder is quiet. About the same level of sound comes from our toaster oven with its fan running. We regularly use it for our Einkorn wheat berries. We run it on medium Chorus at medium speed. If we want it finer we run it through the second time on fine setting. It's just the two of us so it makes plenty enough for us

[@johnnyjimj]

@@peterallen9302 Interesting - Indeed sound can be very deceptive depending on what is used for recording. For those who are still wondering about converting an old commercial burr coffee grinder, I have perfected my technique and it's flawless now, with no overload and lock-up - you simply need to grind in two passes, very coarse and fast (semolina-sized), which doesn't overtax the motor, then you regrind that at the finest setting for a second time. No lock-up and jam ups and it reduces overheating. It does double the grinding time required, but it results in a flour that is as fine and powdery as commercially ground. My bread has never been so good.
