Miscellaneous Grinders
 I have my mom's ancient Mill & Mix wheat grinder/mixer.
Pluses: It was free, and it's better than not having a wheat grinder. :) You can adjust how coarsely or finely
you want to grind the wheat. You can grind any grains in it, including corn. It doesn't kick up a bunch of
grain dust - that is all captured inside the drawer on the bottom. It has a huge capacity - I can grind a lot all
at once. The attached mixer has a large capacity - but I don't need that part since I have a Bosch mixer.
Minuses: it is GIGANTIC. There is no good place to put it that is accessible and out of the way, so for now it
occupies way too much counter space. It is really loud, so I have to use it when the kids are awake. I don't
think the company is even in business anymore, so once it breaks I doubt I can fix it.
 We recently got a Vitamix blender. Fastest, easiest set up and clean up, light and simple to use and lift, no
rules about not adding fatty seeds like flax (haven't tried mixing them in yet) and still a great result. Maybe
just slightly less fine than the blendtec kitchen mill, but blending it more towards the full 1 min. gets it a bit
finer.
 I have a 35 yr. old Excalibur stone grinder they make dehydrators now but this came in a kit it was
inexpensive and it has ground tons of wheat perfectly it is adjustable and it even has a handle so you can
grind if the power goes out . I love a stone grinder. I have friends with all different kinds but my flour always
is so nice and fluffy
 I have been making bread twice a week for the past 41 years and have been grinding wheat berries for the
bread using the same Moulinex grinder and the same Kitchen Aid mixer with a dough hook for all those
years. Love both of them and can't say enough good things about them, especially the mixer. The only
disadvantage to the wheat grinder is it only holds 1/2 cup wheat, but by the time everything else is thrown
in the bread that's plenty of cracked wheat
