Tip for those who use a scale to measure ingredients, weigh out the grains before milling. So if the recipe calls for 500 gr flour, weigh out 500 gr of whole grain, mill it & you will be good to go.

I have had too many friends burn out the motor of their kitchenaide when making bread with fresh milled flour. Sooo I still have my Bosch mixer for bread.

[@angelahagood7143]

I just recently watched an episode of a TV pastry chef that visited a bakery that has gone back to stone grinding all their flours and meals, then they bake in the same shop. She spoke about the amazing difference between the flavor of typical flours versus the bread baked with the fresh stoneground flour. The owner told her the same thing you said regarding blades and stones. When I watch you I learn so much! You remind me that our ancestors had to be savvy in their day to day lives and the things we take for granted now, they had purposeful reasons for doing. Why can’t ALL instructions be as thorough as yours? Great episode! 🍞

[@elizabethbertsch3066]

I have the KoMo Fidibus Classic. I’ve had it for 4 years. Previous to that I had the same Nutrimill that your sister has. I LOVE my KoMo!! Like you mentioned I like the stones for grinding the grain. It has a wider range of choice for the fineness of the grain. And like you, I think it’s gorgeous on my counter. And even better, it is soooo quiet! It was worth the extra money to me! Your video was really great at explaining the differences 😊

[@diannerempel8262]

I have an older, smaller Nutri mill which serves my purpose. I hadn't used it in a long while, and yesterday my husband reminded me about this. Today, you have this video on grinding your own flour. We are empty nesters and don't go through bread and other baking as much anymore, but this spurred me on to go get out my mill and use fresh flour and sourdough to make pizza for supper!

[@pennycricket2294]

I have the Kitchenaid mill attachment. It is not fast by any means. I do love it though because I have a very small kitchen and need space saving devices. I have put a digital thermometer in the flour bowl as I was milling and the temperature was 81 degrees Fahrenheit. Not enough to lose nutrition. If milling a lot of flour the mixer itself can get hot. I don’t bake very often anymore but love using fresh home milled flour.

I bake almost daily and lots of bread, and the white Mockmill 100 has been just fine. I bought it last year and it was less expensive than it is now. I believe the price increased about 25% last November. It is a workhorse and I expect it to last forever. In an interview, Wolfgang Mock said he is still using his original mill he built 30 years ago!

[@jaredmcomber]

Funny, I had such a similar experience with my home milling experience. I was new to bread making and the Nutrimill was what I found on Amazon. It was inexpensive and had gotten a lot of positive reviews. It got me through several years of home baking. As I gained more experience and did more research I came across the Mockmill. And the rest is history. Best mill around!

This is a great comparison! I bought a Komo Mio a few years ago, which I believe was designed by the same person who designed the mock mill, and I absolutely love grinding my own flour. We are visiting family right now and eating conventional store bought bread, it just doesn't hold a candle to homemade bread from freshly ground wheat. If anyone is on the fence about a grain mill....just do it! The taste is so much better!

[@Jacklynnsparks]

[@bonniet6275]

I have the KoMo Mio and it's a very similar design to the Mockmill. If it gets jammed I've found that if you turn the bowl to where you're opening up the stones while it's turned on, then it will spit the grain out. You can discard the little bit of grain that came out coarse from doing that. Maybe that will work for yours too if it ever happens again. I sort the grain, if needed, as I pour it into the mill so I don't turn mine on first. The only time it has jammed for me is when I had the stones very close together because of doing a super fine grind. I just started milling almost a year ago and I love it. I don't know what I've been doing all my life. 😆

[@Stephanie-rf9xs]

You are not spending money on yourself when you purchase something for your kitchen such as a grain mill! That grain mill benefits your family EVEN if it is only you and your husband. Another way to look at expensive kitchen helpers such as stand mixers or food processors is in the long run the item is helping you and your family stay healthy. By eating fewer processed foods, you are keeping everyone healthy so fewer medical bills and medications are required as you grow older. I know this works because I am in my 60s now and take no prescription medication nor am I required to see a doctor regularly. I have a food processor that is 35 years old and still going great!

I have the nutrimill that I used on my parents' farm growing up. They gave it to me when they downsized. I love it, but I agree, it is not attractive on the counter and I put it away with each use. It is awkward to get out, so I do use it less than I would like. It is also a pain to clean. Your mockmill is pretty and I like that you just set a bowl out.

I've never tried a MockMill, but I was given a nutrimill grinder like the one in your video. You're right about the dust if you don't make sure to push the bin all the way in. Also if you forget to insert the filter..... I was also given an older Wonder Mill/Whisper Mill but it doesn't have quite as large of a grain capacity. My trouble now is being able to FIND wheat berries. I buy hard white wheat berries for sourdough and most baking but everywhere seems to be out of stock in the larger quantities. Azure Standard is where I usually purchase from but it goes out of stock just as they process my order. Oh the fun of 2020-2022....
