KitchenAidKGM All Metal Grain Mill Attachment

I read many of the reviews before I purchased this grain mill. I decided to take a shot so I would at least know what to expect. It was definitely worth the price. As it turns out, I am very happy with this product. Some of the reviews said that the mill is not sturdy and in some occasions, it actually fell off. I will admit there is a learning curve here. I have the KitchenAid professional 5+ stand mixer, which I bought refurbished at least two decades ago. I wasn’t sure if it was up to the task.When I attached the mill the first time I felt it vibrating a little bit as I made my first batch of flour from wheat berries. I also noticed that the screw that holds the mill onto the mixer does loosen a bit while the machine is working, so I lend a hand, and tighten the screw as needed while the grain mill grinds the wheat berries. The directions are easy to follow, I didn’t have any problem with dust level, it’s very easy to use and easy to clean. As I removed the mill from the mixer, a tiny bit of flour and a few wheat berries, maybe a tablespoon full, fell out of the mill, other than that it was easy to use and worth every penny.

I would have given it a 5 star review but for a few issues with my old Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer. I worried since the mixer was so old it might not be compatable but it was! This was one of the reasons I was hesitant to order a mill for the kitchen aid but decided to give it a try. This worked well on my older model Kitchen Aid mixer. The weight of it was so heavy that it kind of sagged toward where the grinder was. I had to take off the bowl from the stand because the grain would wind up in front of it but it did not leave enough space below the older mixer design to place the bowl in front of it to catch the grain as it came through. I had to steady the mixer base while it ground the grains. I was happy that it worked and the fine grain seems good for baking. I have not had time to bake yet. I used a 24 oz bag of Kamut whole grain wheat to try it out. I fed the grinder in segments of about 2 cups at a time. It took a long time to get through the bag. It seemed a little louder than the normal mixer alone. It does not allow you to wash it in water. There was no smell to the actual grinder but the grain smelled very good that it produced. I know other people with Kitchen Aid Mixers and noticed theres had a different design than mine. I have a base that the metal bowl locks into.Thus, your experience may not be the same as mine. Again, I would give it 5 stars but for a few issues lining up an bowl to catch the grain and the weight of the grinder. I think it is a great value because of the quality of the grain it produces. I tried different levels too. I it has 12 levels of grain. Each level is different. It was very easy to set up and use.

Great for 2 loaves of Rye Bread. It might grind hot for bigger batches

The media could not be loaded. Have had for a few months and would definitely buy again.Pros:-grinds the grain really fine-there are two options for grain size, I’ve only used the really finely grained oneCons:-it is pretty loud (which is to be expected)-there are some extras that gets stuck in the top, but I just leave it there for the next use since I use it so often.-it’s best to use a taller bowl or hold it high like I am in the video because it gets grain dust everywhere from the mixer spinningFYI:-Definitely listen to the instructions to shut it off after 15 minutes, it runs the kitchen-aid really hot.

Works great!

My husband bought this for me and it’s been a disaster. The directions say to use on speed 10. First use bread machine needed 4 cups and the mill broke my kitchen aide mixer after 3.5 cups. So I took my stand mixer to the repair shop and that costed me 160 to fix. The repair man said do not use on a speed higher than 4. So right there I feel cheated. Why did the instructions say to use on speed 10. So now I go to make bread on speed 4 and barely any wheat comes out. After 20 minutes! And my stand mixer is getting hot and I don’t want another repair bill so I just shut it off and use all purpose flour for remainder. The worst part is now it’s been over a month with the repair and I can’t return it. Save yourself the suffering and DONT BUY THIS.

Got this for my daughter. She loves it and uses it all the time

I decided to jump into the world of baking with freshly milled nutritious grains for my family. Great affordable solution for milling wheat berries. I use it on the finest setting, and had 4 cups of flour in no time. Baked a beautiful loaf of freshly milled bread! Everyone loved it, and so much more healthy than store bought.
