I've had this attachment for several years now, and I've probably run at least 100 lbs of various grains, pulses and corn through it (mostly heirloom wheats), and it has some significant shortcomings. First and foremost, the user manual is a case study in under informativeness and gross omissions - it tells you virtually nothing about: ÷ The various grind settings, particle size, and what products they roughly correspond to, and what those products are best suited for. ÷ What a "progressive grind" is, why it's done, and how to do it. For example, if you just dump a handful of dried chickpeas in (the hardest pulse there is) and try fine grind it in a single pass, and if your machine is an older model with under 500w, it could DESTROY your motor, depending on how fast it was going and how long it take you to realize bad things are in progress. Ditto for trying to grind popcorn with mixers of 350w or less. ÷ The unit is quite mediocre in terms of how fine it cam grind, AND worse still, It fails to tell you that you need to sieve the final results (to separate any finer flour from the grit size corresponding to the setting you select), and it tells you nothing whatsoever about what grind settings roughly correspond to various particle size mesh ratings. Without sieving, any attempt to replicate, or even get remotely close to, say all purpose flour, will fail miserably, because even on setting 12/12, the best the attachment can manage texturally resembles a 50:50 mix of fine grit cornmeal and a semi-fine flour (ex: maida). Even with a staged progressive grind, I'm only able to get at most a little under 2/3rds of my grist (by weight) through a 40 mesh sieve after setting 12/12, which is nowhere near the talc like texture of commercial bolted flour, which is often mesh 100+. That grit must be removed if you want anything resembling a soft tender open crumb in bread, and if you don't the result is a closed gritty crumb closer to that of a whole wheat bran muffin. The machine works fine at grinding anything up to say a medium fine to fine cornmeal or semolina grit, as long as your sieve it, but for anyone serious about finer quality artisan bread like sourdough, you'd be better off looking for something able to grind finer. I know I am. I gave it a B- in my Amazon review, and felt generous doing so.

Ah I knew he looked/sounded familiar! I met Adam when I did an internship with blue hill when I was younger. Very nice guy.

Thanks for the demonstration. I’ll definitely get it for my mother.

This year we grew Einkorn, Emmer, Abenaki Flint Corn and an heirloom wheat. The UPS man just dropped off our mill! Can't wait to get started!!!!

Thanks so much! I know this might sound silly, but I just heard about doing this! I listened to a couple of audio cd's from bread beckers and I'm most definitely going to start doing this! Thanks again!!! - Aja

Thanks for the video! I adore Williams Sonoma. Had no idea, they were on you-tube. So, Adam..I will say, the wheat didn't look like a powder. I think maybe the grinder moves too slow, to make fine powder? There are electric ones, that make very fine flour. I have a very old Hobart/Kitchen-Aid Grain Mill. It doesn't get that milled of flour. The bread is too heavy to rise. Great for wheat pancakes, and corn mcookies. Adam..would you suggest using that mill, for bread flour? Thanks!

I know it says is for dry grain, do u think it would be ok for wets? Thx

Thank you so much

Can we grind spices also? Like black pepper, Dry Coriander , Cumin etc?

I watched this and was no wiser as to whether this had steel or carborundum plates. Steel plates are generally fairly poor. What is the output per minute? (some are painfully slow). And, most importantly the temperature of the flour after milling. Some mills overheat the flour damaging it. The milling demo had a quite coarse setting which mill more quickly, but the flour would be too coarse for bread or biscuits. Even on a coarse setting the output was fairly low. A strip down to show the build quality would be good. So many words in this video and a dearth of what really matters in choosing a mill.

Where do you buy different types of grains?

What is the best way to clean this attachment?

Speed setting please. Thank you. Great video.

How much does the power hub cost. Got a used attachment

Can use with wet mill grain too?

Hi there, is it possible to grind Linseed (lino or linaza seeds) with this adapter?

Can I use this attachment to grind dehydrated beetroots?

does it work as a flaker as well?

Good information here. Question, would that Grain Mill grind coffee beans just like an coffee grinder? Thanks

Does anyone know if a mill grinder will grind mesquite beans? There are many mill grinders out there besides this one.

Can I use to powder dehydrated beetroots?

Does it grind 00? Double zero?

can I achieve the same fineness as flour bought from supermarket with such adapter?

Excellent! Thank you for this video...

Where can you find bulk corn like that?

So this wouldn’t work for peanuts? Or coffee?

I need something to grind nixtamalized (thus moist) corn kernels. If this cannot do it please design something that can! Grinding by hand means too much sweat is ending up in my tortillas

so how much wheat berries do i need for 1 cup of flour?

Hi! Someone know how much weight it?

I have one. a couple hours later, you're good to go.

Will the grind wet rice? Or socked beans?

please show how to grind grits please. no one ever shows the course function.

can you grind garbanzo beans to make chickpea flour?

Which Kitcheaid mixer do you own? I want to buy that one!

What i have seen the flour is not very fine....could he do better?

I came here to check this product out but my vitamix does A much better work in grinding flour than this. It looks coarse at best. (I have Kitchen Aid Artisan Mixer and Vitamix Pro 750)..Too bad *because it's one really sexy good looking attachment* to be using (and filming in my case).

Is that mill capable of making powdered organic cane Sugar?

Can I use this to crack corn for my chickens?? That would be chunks, not flour.

Has anyone used the Kitchen Aid grain mill to crack Freekeh?

Would this work for oily seeds like poppy seeds

Can I mill chickpeas in the kitchen aid

Einkorn wheat makes the best flavored flat bread

where does one buy grains?

these days with so much emphasis placed on germs, with the pandemic, it makes sense to stay away from the germ as much as we can.

I tried grinding Jasmin rice and it did not go well. 😅

Hi, I want to know if I can put fresh corn there. (raw corn)

I bought a Uni-Ark with stone burrs, but I used it so much I injured my shoulder joint! So then I motorized it. If I was going to do it again, I would definitely get a Mil-Rite of a Mil-Right convertable and add my own motor.

Kitchen aide needs to add a sleeve or extend the opening down to prevent having to stand there and hold a bowl.

Can you polish brown rice this way?

can it grain fresh corn

How about coffee or cocua

How about almond?

Can you share cookie recipe

It looks like a mess. Any better way to use the mill on the KitchenAid?

PAGE IS NOT AVAILABLE IN YOUR REGION TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS, I hate this kind of msg's. Not the right way to attract customers.

How about roasted coffee beans?

Ty sir

That looks more a like a Cereal than pastry flour.

i suppose i could use it to grind black pepper huh

Gordan ramsey over here, grinding grains for his thousand dollar loaf of bread.

That sure doesn't look 'fine' to me... Sorry if I don't find 'grittiness' to be a desirable trait in flour 🙄... How about testing it to actually make a decent amount of flour that you would typically to make bread, like a pound or two?!

Will this grind human bones?

It did not look fine enough to me.

I own a Retsel flour mill. Expensive, but they last a lifetime. I buy wheat in bulk, organic, for 50¢ a pound.

doesnt seem like this attatchment would be capable of propperly grinding rice flour its just not nearly fine enough.

Holy crap, you had better be careful that you don't get your hand or your hair in the way of the mixer arm.

You can see that emmer turned into meal, rather than flour. That's what is wrong with those attachments.

must be nice to not live paycheck to paycheck.

It really bothers me that he's using this little bowl and holding it there and getting flour everywhere. Get a bigger bowl!

Looks messy af

This is ridiculous. Using a stand mixer attachment to mill grains.
