Family Grain Mill
 I have the Family Grain Mill and I LOVE it. Overall, for me, the pros far outweigh the cons!
Pros:
- I bought it without the motor and instead bought the attachment to affix it to my Bosch which gives it
more power!
- You can buy an inexpensive hand crank for it so that you're set for emergencies. I did. I think I paid
something like $200-$250 all in all? From pleasanthillgrain.com
- It can do cracked wheat. The NutriMill can't.
- It can grind flaxseed. Only 1/2 a cup at a time, but a lot of other mills don't at all.
Cons:
- The hopper holds 5 cups. I fill it twice to do my 4-loaf recipe of whole wheat bread.
- It has no top so a little dust gets around the outside while it works.
- From what I hear, the NutriMill is really quiet. This is not. It's not crazy loud though, just loud if I'm
trying to scale it...
 I have the Family Grain Mill. I have the version to grind by hand because I wanted it for emergency
purposes. It also has an attachment to hook up to a Bosch that you can buy so you can mill with the motor,
but I haven't purchased it .I am very happy with it. I get a good fine flour and I know I could use it in a
disaster, but I also use it for everyday use. It's not too hard to turn and my kids even take turns sometimes. I
would say the only con is that I don't pull it out all the time probably because I know it's a commitment to
hook it up and then get a little workout.
 I like that it has the detachable hand grinder, good for power outages, etc. But I haven't ever used it! I always
use the electric motor. It is able to fit on the counter and it's not super heavy, so it's easy to move around. It is
rather loud and the flour does tend to make a film all over the machine and the counter even if I have a bowl
right under it (but that is probably inevitable.) It has varying levels of fineness when it comes to grinding,
but I always just use the finest.
