(More customer reviews)This is a decent affordable electric mill.It has a large capacity reservoir and a dial for variable grinds of flours.You can pour about 2-3 cups of wheat berries in the hopper at a time, and add more as the grains flow through the grinder.I usually make about 6 cups of flour at a time, and the process takes about 5 minutes.I've made oat flour by simply putting rolled oats through the hopper, and corn meal using corn kernels.Corn kernels don't flow as well through the hopper, though.They need to be trickled in a bit more slowly so that they stay below the level of the intake hole at the bottom of the hopper.Flour coming out of the mill feels warm to the touch, but I have no idea if the temperature is high enough to decrease nutrients.In any case, once you get used to having fresh flour whenever you want, you can never go back, because store-bought flour tastes very flat and stale.
Cleaning the mill is relatively easy.All that is required is to pull out the foam filter and shake the flour out it, take off a plastic cup from inside the reservoir and shake it out, and wipe the reservoir clean.The internal parts of the mill require no cleaning (they're billed as self-cleaning).
The only problems I've had with the mill in 3 years of at least weekly use are with noise and the plastic latches.This is a very noisy appliance, and earplugs are a must if you will be in the same room while it is operating.The weak spot in the mill are the plastic latches that hold the top motor/hopper assembly to the reservoir.Since there is no other handle or place to grip the heavy top, one naturally pulls on the side latches to lift the motor off the reservoir, and this makes the side latches crack.After the latches crack, there is no firm seal between the top and reservoir, so a haze of flour can puff out the sides while the mill is operating.That doesn't result in a significant loss offlour, but it can cover nearby surfaces with flour dust.Still, for the price and convenience, this is a great addition to any kitchen.
