“This mill may be a bit time consuming than an electric mill, but it is so satisfying seeing your work in the end product. I have found it very relaxing to grid my own wheat without the aid of electricity and reducing my carbon footprint in the process.”
“Well all I need now is a punka wallah to turn the handle and an automatic sifter but makes great flour, I do the coarse sifting and my wife does the fine in a tea strainer...LoL
Roll on when I can order the sieves from you.
Keep safe and well

“The hand-mill arrived sooner than expected ( I live in the US), and the product was just as described online. The instructions for use weren’t in the box, but it wasn’t difficult to figure out- plus, they had a YouTube video that showed to go counter-clockwise, which was helpful. I am very happy with the purchase and the wonderful company that is Bakery Bits!”
“Using this mill for some time now I can add the following. Grinding 1lb of wheat will take approximately 1 hour. You need to put a few grains in at a time, give it a couple of turns than add a few more. If you put loads of grain through at the same time it overloads the grooves and raises the top part of the mill so you get lumps and even whole grains coming through. Slow but sure gives better flour. This gives flour good enough for oven baking or bread machine.
Now the cheat method - I have Kenwood chef attachment that does not grind the flour fine enough for my bread machine. (Confession - I use my bread machine in work on night shifts). I was given a tip. Freeze the grains then run them whilst frozen through the kenwood chef. This stops overheating of the grain/flour. Sieve the flour and about 1/4 will not fit through the sieve. This is then put through the grain mill. It will take about 10 minutes to grind the larger bits down to a flour, again adding a little at a time.
I use the whole lot for my baking and love the home made bread.
Happy baking.”
