NutriMill Classic High Speed Grain Mill, 1200 Watt, 5 Cups Per Minute

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...)

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

So far I have found this to be adequate in milling my wheat berries. Granted I have only milled wheat berries at this point but it does a fine job. I am enjoying the healthier aspects of making and eating quality bread.

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

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!

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!

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.

Love this grain mill. It works great! I would buy it again. No dust leaks out when processing and it is easy to clean and works quickly to give nicely milled flour.
