“I can’t review it at the moment as I’ve not used it yet, but the delivery and quality is good, I prefer this to Kitchenaid metal mill, would recommend. Good communication.”

“Having reviewed the market many times for a grain mill that doesn't take up much storage space and works efficiently and relatively quietly milling up to 500 grams of grain at a time, I finally decided on this device which easily attacjhes to my Kithenaid mixer.
I'm absolutely delighted with the results, whether coarse milling to crunchy cracked wheat or to fine flour with all the goodness retained. You can even change settings during milling without disrupting the process - and with 2 years guarantee from a reputable company, what's not to like!”

“I now bake all my own bread, using wild yeast because of how much nicer it tastes. Using freshly milled grain promised even greater flavour and in the videos, this little device supplies of freshly milled grain with ease, attached in moments to your stand mixer. The price from Bakery Bits seemed reasonable for such a smart looking, quality piece of kit and I was pleased that it would make greater use of my recently purchased mixer. The instructions supplied with it were in German, but an English version was available online. I've now used the Mockmill a few times and my comments so far are: it's quite quiet in operation, the design is pleasing to the eye (if you keep it out attached), but it's compact to store and easy to attach and detach if you don't. It mills flour reasonably quickly on a coarse grind but larger amounts would take quite a long time. You can use it to grind other non-oily things (like dried pulses) but not oily sesame or sunflower seeds. I have used it to grind grain I have sprouted and dried myself, but you do need to make sure the grain is properly dried out again. On the negative side, the fine/coarse adjustment is large and needs a big strong hand to grip the shiny surface adequately to turn it against quite considerable resistance. It is easier when the stones are turning but still, I need two hands. I'm a lady in my sixties and don't yet have arthritis but if i did, I doubt I would be able to use this. Dismantling it to clean the stones (only rarely needed, I imagine, but recommended for travel or storage for long periods) needs you to turn this adjustment, without the stones turning (obviously) and with one hand (whilst you pull with the other): there is no way I can do this. Finally, you also need a supply of grain to mill which may be more difficult to source locally, whereas most of us can buy flour from any good supermarket. Overall, I am pleased with my purchase because it opens new opportunities to explore great tasting bakes.”
