So you're interested in purchasing a grain or flour mill from Everything Kitchens? There are a few things to consider before you pull the trigger. Ask yourself the following questions:
1. Do I want a manual or an electric grain mill? Manual grain mills require a good deal of time and endurance to operate, and these excel at coarse flour. Electric mills require power and are best for very-fine flour, like that used for pastry. One of our electric mills can even be used manually in the absence of power. See the reviews below.
2. What will I be using my flour mill for? The grind consistencies vary between models and types of flour mills. Consider whether the grain produced will be fine or coarse enough for the application at hand.
3. Is a flour mill that produces excessive noise going to be an issue for me, my family, or my neighbors? Some flour mills can be very loud. Electric impact-chamber types are necessarily loud due to the mechanics involved, though some units handle this better than others.
4. Will flour dust from my grain mill be an issue? Small children and people with asthma may be adversely affected by grain dust in the air. Manuals tend to produce less ambient dust than electrics.
5. What is my price range? Everything Kitchen's grain and flour mills range, at the time of this writing, from around $100 all the way up to $500. The reviews below will attempt to highlight and compare the features found in our entry-level and top-quality flour mills alike.
The most popular electric mills we carry are the NutriMill, and the Wonder Mill (formerly the Whisper Mill Grain Mill). We will highlight the pros and cons of each of these grain mills.
Electric Grain Mills
NutriMill Grain Mill
The NutriMill Harvest Grain Mill is outfitted with the Easy-adjust texture control knob. This smooth operating, single knob control allows you to easily and quickly dial the grind level you wish to produce. The grain mill ceramic grinding stones create a low-heat milling process that does not destroy vitamins and minerals. It has been designed and made in the USA with careful craftsmanship for healthful, efficient milling. The large hopper holds 3.5 cups, and you can add more as milling progresses when you have larger needs. The folks at NutriMill also remembered that you want style in your kitchen. The function, technology, and tradition of the NutriMill Harvest Grain Mill is packaged beautifully in bamboo housing.
For large capacity milling, check out the Nutrimill Plus that offers a 24 cup capacity. The powerful W motor can mill through your grains and even has the ability to mill directly into a storage bag making this a low-mess milling solution. The Nutrimill Plus has 4 filter stages to separate impurities from your grains.
Wonder Mill
The Wonder Mill Grain Mill is extremely easy to use. Simply fill the hopper and out comes flour. There are no small parts or gaskets to misplace, and the self-cleaning WonderMill is quick, easy, and virtually dust-free. There is no need for additional attachments to bag your flour simply put a plastic bag in the canister and grind. The Wonder Mill Grain Mill (formerly the Whisper Mill) has a still an impact-chamber mill, the Wonder Mill generates quite a bit of noise. The grinding consistency is adjustable, ranging from fine to coarse flour yields, but will not accommodate very-coarse types like corn grits and bulgur wheat. This model will have no trouble with most non-oily grains.
The Wonder Mill Grain Mill has no option for manual operation, and can only grind 12 cups at once. This unit has stainless-steel grinding blades and a self-cleaning milling chamber. We recommend this one for people with respiratory problems, as this unit leaves less flour dust in the air than most other electric mills. If you are willing to pay a little more to save your ears and your lungs, the Wonder Mill might be for you.
KitchenAid
If you already own a KitchenAid mixer, their grain mill attachment could be a solution for you. The grain mill attachment is a low-cost solution that does a good job at milling smaller loads. KitchenAid's grain mill is only rated to mill a maximum of 10 cups of flour at a time, so if you are looking to make larger batches of flour, consider other options like the NutriMill.
Manual Grain Mills
Marcato
A low-cost manual grain mill from Marcato may be right for you if the Country Living Grain Mill is outside your budget. The Marcato Marga Mulino Grain Mill is made in Italy and perfect for milling small batches of fresh grain. You can choose from 6 different textures and the hand crank allows you to further control the texture. The Marcato also has an option to attach a drive motor to automate the milling process.

Milling your whole grain at home can be extremely beneficial! It is not as overwhelming as it may sound. When I tell people I mill my own flour at home, I get all kinds of responses. Those responses range anywhere from, 'You do what?' to 'Wow, that is amazing, tell me more!' But, I always get questions, no matter what!
This is a picture of My husband Milling a mix of soft white wheat and spelt in our Stone Flour Mill.
Milling your own whole grain at home is actually quite easy. All you need is the right equipment. That equipment is a Grain Mill. There are many different kinds of grain mills out there, so choosing could be daunting. Luckily, I am here to help you! My preferred grain mill for milling whole wheat/whole grain flour is an electric stone mill. More specifically, I LOVE my Nutrimill Harvest! There are many grain mills on the market, and that is for a whole other post.
So, once you have the right equipment, all you need to do is choose the grain you want to mill! Hard white wheat is a great first grain to start with for breads, and Soft white wheat is a good grain to start with for cookies and pastries. Of course, there are several others as well, and I will get into that later in this post.
Next, after you have your mill, and you have your grains, just get familiar with your new best friend! Read your manufacturer's instructions, and start milling! Voila! Now you have fresh, scrumptious whole grain flour! Yes, it really is that simple! Don't be intimidated by the process, just make sure when you are starting out to try a basic recipe that is actually made for fresh milled flour, I have several here. Once you have that recipe mastered to your family's liking, start branching out and trying new things! Nothing can stop you now!
You can grind grains at home without a mill. However, the results may not be as ideal without a mill. There are some blenders like the Vitamix and Blentec that people have had decent results with. Those will get the job done in moderation with mediocre results. But, if you are looking for a fine flour, a flour mill is your best option. Also, if you are looking to grind often, or in large quantities, a grain/flour mill would benefit your needs the best!
Yes! Absolutely! The health benefits alone make it worth milling your own whole grain at home! The outstanding fresh flavor of fresh milled grains cannot be mimicked by anything else! Milling your own grain gives you the power to make your food when the flour is at it's maximum potential, retaining the highest level of nutrition and flavor. Many don't know that commercial flours (even the specialty expensive flours) are stripped of nearly all of the nutritional content. When the grain is processed, both the bran (fiber) and the germ (Vitamin E) are removed. The high oil content makes the flour go rancid and spoil much sooner than desired. Therefore, the expiration date on fresh milled flour is not ideal for commercial sale profits.
Once whole grain is milled, it immediately begins to loose it's nutritional content. So, it is best to mill the grains fresh before each recipe whenever possible. It is understandable that this is not always possible. If you need to mill the grain in advance, it is advisable to keep the milled grains/flour in the fridge up to 7 days, OR in the freezer for up to 6 months.
I store the bulk of my wheat berries in food safe 5 gallon buckets that I purchased from Tractor Supply Store. Also, I purchased the twist Gamma lids, some from Tractor Supply, but they only stock one color. I like color coded lids so I easily can identify which whole grain is in which bucket. So, I purchased some colored Gamma lids directly from Bread Beckers while we were passing through the Atlanta Georgia area.
However, those buckets can be a pain to access daily, so I use these amazing everyday grain storage bins HERE. They hold a great amount, and fit nicely on my counter, and can even stack. These bins are air tight, and lock closed on all four sides with a gasket. They also come with a measuring scoop and cute little labels. Another feature I love about them, is they are clear, so I can see inside and know when the level is getting low. Lastly, I love that I can get a full scoop in them, because the top opening is just as large as the container. So convenient!
I LOVE These Storage Bins! I have tried so many other kinds, and these are top notch!Most commercial wheat farmers will 'clean' the wheat berries (kernels) before you purchase them. In most cases, No, it is not necessary to wash wheat before grinding. However, quickly skim through the wheat for foreign materials before you mill, and just be pick any out by hand. It is important to know, that grains need to be completely dry before milling them.
Here is a photo showing a little chaff (which is the outer seed covering) This can be picked out, but isn't necessary unless there is an over abundance.
Yes, you can mill rice. This will produce rice flour. In fact, it is advisable to mill rice every 6 months in a stone mill for cleaning and maintenance.
There are many places that sell wheat berries and other whole grains. You can look around locally, I know there are Amish supply stores in some areas that sell grains. Also, I have heard there was success with buying them at Winco and Whole Foods. If you don't have anywhere local, then you may need to order them. Here is a list of online grains. I only listed grains that I personally purchased, and I can recommend. (This is not a complete list, as I have not ordered from all the companies, so just because it is not on my list, does not mean it is a bad place to buy it)
Almost any dry whole grain is acceptable for milling. Check your manufacturer's recommendations for any discrepancies. Commonly milled grains include:

This picture also shows the everyday grain bins I use, and they are fantastic!
