KitchenAid Grain Mill Attachment
My husband got me the Grain Mill Attachment for my KitchenAid and oh, my LOVE IT. I love the fact that
the flour from this mill has a more interesting look to it - bread made from this flour (I think) has better
texture and better flavor. A couple of caveats - I have the professional KitchenAid so the motor is stronger,
and you're not going to be able to grind huge amounts with this attachment. But for a home baker, I think
this attachment works really well.
I have the KitchenAid grain mill attachment. I've used it regularly for about 4 months now. This is what I've
decided:
Pros:
1) It's cheap. $125 compared to $250+
2) It's smaller
3) Grinds very fine to quite coarse (only takes one pass unlike what i had read in reviews)
4) Easy enough to operate
5) Not very messy
6) Solid construction
Cons:
1) My Kitchenaid (the artisan) gets pretty hot after grinding just a few cups. I'd have to let my mixer rest
for a while if I was going to use my Kitchenaid to mix the bread also.
2) It's WAY slower than the others. It did seem to pick up speed after using it for a month or so though.
(Figure that one out). Still way slower than the other grinders. Fine for making the occasional loaf.
Terrible if you have a large family.
3) Obviously you need a KitchenAid mixer for this baby to work
4) Not appropriate for emergencies because it needs electricity
I have a Kitchen Aid wheat grinder attachment. I like it because the kitchen aid does all the work and it
grinds it to just the size I want. The only dislike I have is that it won't work if we don't have electricity, so we
are looking for a hand grinder.
