I am in the market for a wheat grinder. I am looking at the one which attaches to a Bosch mixer and also has the hand grinder attachment for the no-power-needs.

Thought, suggestions? What kind do you use? Positives? Negatives?

I would appreciate input!!!

Hi Angie,
I want to say my Mom(levisgrammy) has a WhisperMill, but I'm not really sure. I will email her and see if she can't send her opinion along. :O)I know the Bosch is always a really good product. I love the mixer for sure, but I don't know if I have used to the grinder for Bosch before.
Sorry Im not more help.:P
hugs

When I can afford one, I plan on getting the Family Grain Mill. You can purchase the Bosch or Kitchenaid attachment, as well.

I have the Country Living Grain Mill and I wouldn't trade it for anything! It is a manual grain mill, but you can pruchase a motor for it (which I do have)or hook it up to a bicycle for exercise.
The customer service with this mill has been excellente! I mill all of my own flour now and in fact I just finished up with some corn for our cornbread. This mill is very heavy duty and does requre a bit more space than the countertop ones. I do Highly reccomend this mill and say you should at least give it a look.

I have a whisper mill and adore it!! It was given to me used even and still is just wonderful. I also have a Corona type hand grinder..which hasn't been used much since I got the whispermill.
I thought about getting the Kitchen aid attachment but heard they are hard on the mixer. I am not sure if that is true since I didn't actually get one before the other one was given to me. Good luck. I love grinding my wheat myself.

I have a Whisper Mill, too. Love it. I also have the manual one I had gotten first, but don't use anymore.

I have a Country Living Grain Mill as well and I love it to bits! I had an old Corona that I bought in a yard sale years ago, which I passed on to a friend when my new one came. (Share the joy, I say!) I keep the CL on a table in the kitchen and it actually is quite the conversation starter when friends come over. I can usually get them to grind a bout a cup or so of flour each while they "try it out"! ha ha ha That's one way to get it done. ;)
Whichever one you choose, you will love having your own flour to bake with. There is nothing better.

Angie,
I have the Bosch mixer but I use my Whisper mill for grinding. I have had this one for 12 years and have never had a problem with it. It is on the market now under another name though. I did not know Bosch had a grinder attachment.
I've heard only good things about the Nutri mill also. Hope you find one that works well for you!
happy new year to you!

Hi Angie,

I had a Nutrimill (electric) and loved it. Worked great and awesome customer service. I have sold it to buy a Country Living Grain Mill (manual) I totally adore this also. I love being able to grind wheat without electricity. It is such an awesome feeling to manually grind wheat and bake for my family.

I also hope that you find a grinder that you love as much as I have loved both of the grinders that I picked.

I have a WonderMill, which is the replacement for the WhisperMill. I love it! I have 4C of flour milled in like 20 seconds. Have you checked with www.breadbeckers.com (a local grain company that ships nationwide and has great customer service) or www.urbanhomesteader.com because they have Bosch stuff. Good luck!

Blessings!
