Grain Mills

[Janessa]

I am looking into getting a grain mill and wondering if anyone has one and has any advice.

I have a Kitchen Aid, so was looking at the kitchen aid attachment($129) but some say it does not grind fine enough. Also looking at the Nutrimill ($269) and some complain that you cannot get a coarse grind. The two things that people have said are good to coarse grind are wheat and corn and I don't eat either so am not so concerned about that.

Basically I don't want to spend an extra $100 if the kitchenaid is just fine

Hope someone out there can help

Thanks

I have a Nutrimill and like it. It grinds very fine flour and the coarse setting is coarse enough to grind a decent cornmeal. But if you don't grind corn then you don't have to worry about that. I don't know about the KitchenAid attachment so I can't help you there. I know someone who has a K-Tec and likes it. It's only about $40 more than the attachment you're looking at and would probably be more reliable and grind better/finer flour than the attachment could.

Whatever mill you choose, just remember that when you are grinding rice, always choose short grain, it will grind a whole lot faster than long grain.

I have a Nutrimill and it does a good enough job grinding brown rice flour...I have long grain rice and it does take forever to grind 2#..from 45 min to 1 hr...It will grind fairly coarse rice grits, I'd like it a bit coarser, but it is OK....Like you, I can't eat gluten and corn either....When I was looking for a mill the Nutrimill was about the most promising one...that was 2 years or so ago....
