i can only speak from what i have. i have a vitamix that works great for small batches. then i have a hobart coffee srone grinder. i use it only for grains. it is old was papas moms. we love it. the grain does not get to hot when grinding. thats about all i can help with. i love fresh ground grains i keep my whole grains in the freezer. i keep my ground grain in glass jars in the fridge. always tastes like fresh. sherrye there are a lot of farmgirls grinding that know more.
the learn as we go silk purse farm

I have the Country Living Grain Mill and absolutly Love it! It is a manual mill, but you can also hook it up to a motor or a bicycle. We have ours hooked up to the motor at this time. This mill is also made in the USA which is a plus in my mind. You can check out their webpage at-

I have had a Corona type hand grinder for years (quite a workout by the way!) and was given a used "Whisper Mill" about 6 years ago...LOVE it!!!!!! I will always keep my hand grinder on hand, but sure enjoy that whisper mill. I would totally recomend it. I grind cornmeal in it too. Fast, easy and quiet. Does a great job.

I have the same mill but I need to practice with it a bit to get a finer grind.

It does take a little time to get the adjustment that you want, but pretty soon you just know where to set it. We actually dont mind it being a little coarser, it adds texture to the bread and is quite good. When I grind up corn for cornmeal I intentionally grind some really coarse so it can be used as mush (polenta). We love this mill, it does everything- even makes bean flour!

thanks for taking the time to help out another farmgirl, and by the way sherrye i love the

i have 9 years of higher education, and let me tell you, i still think the best knowledge comes from the learn as you go, and those that have been there, done that!
