WONDERMILL Junior Deluxe Grain Mill for Flour, Hand Crank Wheat Mill for Grains, Nuts, Seeds, Oily Foods & Spices, Grain Grinder with Stone and Stainless Steel Burrs (Red)

Absolutely the best grain mill for the money. It's got superb craftsmanship, is super easy to assemble, and comes with both ceramic and steel plates. The mount has dual clamps and there are extra holes so you can mount this in several ways. The hopper isn't very big, so if you're going to do large batches of flour, you might consider enhancing the hopper, e.g. my giant funnel fashioned from a pair of 2L plastic soda bottles. I love that you can not only grind anything from very-coarse to very-fine (e.g. 00 flour). I haven't yet tried the steel plates yet with softer grains, but I expect to enjoy making my own nut butters soon. :D NOTE: This certainly will give you a shoulder+arm workout when using it; or you can do like I'm doing and attach a motor. (My motor dual-serves this mill and also my grain crusher for home-brewing.) Motorized, this will grind 4x the flour per minute and save you from RSI issues as well. ;) TIP: If you refrigerate your grains a little before grinding them into flour, the heat generated from grinding only gets to a little over room temp. I poured my grain into a glass bowl, placed it in my fridge for 15 minutes, and my flour came out at 90°F, way below 115°F which is where nutrient degradation begins. Just beware to not chill the grain too much or it'll produce condensation which can gum-up your grinder.

Seems sturdy, I only used the metal burrs so far but they grind fine enough for my everyday glutenfree sourdough bread. It is a bit loud, and it's heavy to use on rice, but that was expected with a manual grinder. Seller ships with UPS which is a complete failure in Sweden, as they did not even try to deliver the package and lied to me about wether it would be sent to an access point. Causing a lot of hassle and stress, but eventually I got it. The mill itself is good, sits firmly on the table and does it's job well. I'm very happy with it.

My search for a great manual grinder came to a close when I unboxed the Wondermill Jr. In my opinion, this is definitely one of the best grinders on the market. Something like the Country Living mill would no doubt be of higher quality and perform a bit better, but it also runs at over double the price. There are a number of cheaper alternatives on the market, but nearly all of them use plastic parts or don't seem very well made. The Wondermill Jr. is built extremely well, and I was highly impressed with the overall quality of the unit. The entire thing is metal, and is solid in construction with a durable finish. The dual clamp securely fastened the grinder to one of my kitchen countertops and the unit remained rock solid while I worked. The different burrs attach easily and can be interchanged within seconds. The unit includes a set of stone burrs intended for grinding grains, and a set of steel burrs that will grind everything the stone burrs do as well as nuts, sprouts, beans, ect, though at a 10-20% coarser grind. Adjusting the stones is easy, and allows you to grind at a variety of consistencies. The stone burrs look to last quite a long time, though I do plan on buying a spare set. One of the reviews and a couple of comments talked of some excessively long mill times for something like a single cup of flour. After using the mill myself last night, I have to assume that the reviewer was either exaggerating, or using the product incorrectly. Grinding a cup of hard red wheat into fine flour took me under 5 minutes on my first attempt, and that included time spent learning how to adjust the tension for a coarser or finer grind. I got some flecks of stone in the first cup or so through (which the manual clearly warns you of in advance), and nothing after that. All in all, this mill is very well made by a respectable company, performs quite well, and is a great deal for the price. I'm very pleased with the purchase, and will be using it for a long time to come.

Pro's - Great solid mill. Under 100 deg heat so zero damage to grains. Can mill all kinds of grains. Real stone not ceramic. Can switch to blade for peanut butter, almond butter and oil seeds. Is it worth it. Yes it is. Especially if off the grid or power is out. Makes best cream of wheat too. One star off for amount it stated can be ground and instructions could be better. Cons instructions did not show step by step how, to assemble with pictures or a, picture of the item they have you put on. Had to watch YouTube. Set it right for fine flour and it's not gritty. Don't re grind Does Not give you 1.25 Cups of flour a minute. I get about a 1/2 a cup a min. I'm sure if your stronger maybe 3/4 cup. I grind a cup add to freezer bag put in freezer than rest my arm. , go back and grind again and repeat. Cannot regrind so set it to how fine you want., I tried and had to dump it and take apart flour just didn't go through and barely came out. So no need to regrind if it's, set right. Don't tighten it too much or it's even harder to grind. Loosen it a bit you still get fine powder flour.

Fantastic product! We now make our own flower for bread making, we make our own grits, and we grind up for groats.

We love this mill, grinds wheat, soghum fine enough in first pass, just the screws need to be ajusted nicely. It was a perfect workout and milling the flour at the same time.

I am new to growing and grinding my own wheat, but this baby is a winner! Easy to assemble, simple mechanism for adjusting the grind fineness and beautiful to behold. I have other small electric gadgets that could do the task for my 2-person household, but it literally feels good to get the workout and know that I can grind grains and nuts by hand when the grid is down, which is a real thing where we live. The WonderMill comes beautifully and safely packaged, with easy to follow instructions. Getting both the stone milling heads and steel burrs in one box, all-inclusive in the price, is a bonus and better than I could find with any other hand mill. It fits in my kitchen on a small counter next to the stove, takes up very little space and makes me happy when I look at it. It is extremely sturdy and will surely outlive 2 or 3 generations. If anyone is on the fence, I would highly recommend.

The augers arrived bent. I couldn't tell if it mattered (or if it was normal) for the first month because I was grinding by hand. When I got the official drill attachment, however, it was clear that the mill is basically defective. There's so much run-out that the mill would shake violently even at low RPMs. Grinding manually is not optimal either, because the outer burr or stone will move in an unusual "orbit" around the stationary half. This might lead to more variation in grind size. I'm also worried that it might wear the stones, burrs, or bushings out too quickly. I contacted the manufacturer and they told me to use Amazon's return process. Unfortunately it took me a month to start drill-milling, so I'm out of the return window. The alternative is to use the repair service, and of course that'll cost money. All in all, I'm not at all impressed with the quality of this thing or with the support I'm being offered. I love milling, and I have to commend the mill for getting me into the hobby. However, if the quality can be this poor and service this mediocre, I just can't recommend the mill. I would rather have spent double the price to get something that's guaranteed to be high quality. There are other minor issues too. The stationary stone/burr attaches with nuts and washers. Probably due to space limitations, those nuts have to be tightened very close to the body of the mill. It's just not ergonomic. Breaking down the mill to clean it after milling masa, peanut butter, or flour from sorghum is a chore, but it's well worth the effort. The key is to mill a meaningful amount of stuff at a time so that it's worth the hassle. TL;DR: If you can't afford a better mill than this, inspect everything very carefully. The augers should be dead straight. It's hard to gauge this without rotating them in a drill, so buy the (overpriced) drill attachment. Your standard electric drill won't have enough torque, so factor that into the cost of this machine vs. a higher quality mill with a flywheel.
