Grain Mill Reviews! This is the fourth in a series of videos to help you choose your new grain mill. Brian compares five of the most popular manual grain mills on the market today: The Wondermill Jr Deluxe, The Family Grain Mill, The Country Living Grain Mill, and the Victorio line. See the strengths and weaknesses of each, including a visual demo of how fine they can grind, how fast they grind, and even the effort required for cleanup. See our website for more reviews and videos.
This is by far the best review on hand grain mills that I've seen!
The first one looked like a lot less effort, and still makes a bread flour. Price difference you can also buy 3 for the price of ours. Also with a $50 motor that you can connect to it. I rather use it manually though for the exercise, and that old school feel. The others, today prices are ridiculous. $400 for a manual mil, is crazy.
That said, this was a great video bro. Thank you.
Interesting video. The title included the KoMo, but it wasn’t included. I have a KoMo Classic, which I like pretty well. I have no experience with anything else. I imagine this is true for all home mills, but the grinding stones heat up a lot, (a salesman at a bread conference thought I am silly), but I stop my grinder after about 4 cups of grain, take apart the grinder until the stones cool down. I don’t want cooked flour before it’s mixed into dough. The flour quality is very good, imo. I wouldn’t mind having one of these for a backup.
Really well done video! I stumbled upon it while searching for a corn grinding mill and just kept watching! The only thing I felt was lacking was the "this particular mill can also grind ______" part. I know you tested them on how fine they can grind flour in one pass, but it would be helpful to know which mills can grind what and which ones CAN'T grind certain stuff.
Excellent video and very helpful. Thank you for being both concise and thorough.
Wow this is probably the best comparison video I have ever seen. Very thorough. Thank you! Very informative and helpful!
Nice presentation. I bought a Wonder Mill Jr. deluxe several years ago based on reviews - it's not cheap but I wanted a decent one. It's still in it's box bc I bought it as a prep item. Yes, I have grains stored up too lol. I didn't even know that it's good for the oily stuff - I don't have them stored bc they just don't keep like red wheat berries, etc.
I purchased the Junior & can honestly say it took more effort to crank that handle than I had strength for - it had to be returned as it did not live up to what was advertised.
I'm sending the Wonder Junior Deluxe hand grain mill to our mission in Liberia, West Africa. We have no electricity. Light Evangelism Ministries has a school and an orphanage at the mission and we have a lot of mouths to feed. The brass bearings will not rust in the rainy climate. And a child being able to turn the handle is another plus. If this hand mill can tackle the oily grains and nuts and is easily kept clean then this is a big advantage. Soup thickeners are the thing more than baking.
The Jr is simply oustanding
Don't know if its just me but it seems that side camera had a much lower quality video ability which is a shame because it was used to show the flower of that first mill. Maybe others too haven't finished the video.
Thanks for this video. We bought a cheap cast iron mill and the finest it will grind is about the consistency of bread crumbs. We're sending it back and getting the Victorio. The others are out of our budget.
Great reviews! Only price you mentioned was the cheapest one.
Would have been helpful to at least given a price range for each model. Just a thought. Good job regardless.
@jerryshort
Would be your best bet to simply look online and that way you will get real-time prices.
Thank you so much for the valuable information. I am looking to buy a manual grain mill.
Great video, and just the type of review I was looking for. Sorry to see the domain name up for sale 😢
Links to all of the mills would be very helpful.... the posted URL to your business does not even work any longer.
Thank you for sharing 😀 this wonderful tutorial video
How long do the stone wheels last? And do they produce a lot of dust in the final product?
Outstanding presentation -- helped a lot with my understanding of the differences in grain mills
Thank you so much!!
Blessings!

Thanks for the video.
Thank you Brian!!
Thank you so much for a very nice demonstration. I has help me to answer some questions. I will be looking at the individual videos you recommended.
It's been a long time but this is still a great video! Very helpful! Thank you!
Thanks for the in-depth video, it's very helpful and informative!
I have one of the Lehman’s grain mills. It looks very similar to the wondermill. I have been less than impressed with it, it takes monumental effort to produce a few cups of course flour.
I was just on the Country Living site because I like the fact it is so durable. They are announcing a new "Peanut Butter Plus" attachment. Would this give the mill the same grinding abilities of the Wondermill?
Thank you for showing all the mills. I need mill to dehull soybean without turn them into flour. Just split them, so when I soak and wash the skin will peel easily. I need soybean for tempeh. Which one has the coarsest setting ?
This may answer your question. On youtube....Lehmans - Removing hulls from grain. .
Richard Kristianto, I hope you found the right mill to de hull soybeans. If not try search for “making tempeh with Anna & Roy” by DeliciousTV on CZcams. I watched Anna dehulled soybeans using a Country Living grain mill.
This was a very helpful video! Thank you for doing this.
Would you please review the Quaker City grain mills?
I guess if we all lose our electricity forever and don't have any family to help crank the mill, we can always buy an ox and let it turn a grinding stone for us.....or just forget about ever eating bread again. I can grow wheat, but I don't know how to thresh it and now don't know if I can ever grind it without power. He's a good salesman though, he's in the right line of work.
Though I have an old grinding stone I'm actually having difficulty sourcing oxes. Must be due to that flu bug going around...
Awesome video!
Great job!
What is a good mill
to bring when traveling?
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience.
Question: I have a NutriMill, it grinds nice flour, but the flour comes out hot, which is not good for the heat sensitive nutrients, which is why i am considering a hand grind unit. The question is, on the units that have option motor grinding, does that option change the way the flout comes out, does the flour come out cool or hot?
Excellent presentation, it really helped us in making a decision!
Hey Thanks for the reviews. I am wondering how the Country Living grain mill compares to the Diamont?
Is it possible to grind wheat and get the finer flour as we get in the market (all purpose flour) or a little bit thicker than that with any of these grinding mills?
Vimal Sheta you would have to sift the flour through progressively finer material to get all the bran out.
I just got a culinary chubby. I learned how to make butter and buttermilk with my NINJA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ma'am, this was a fantastic video. Thank you.
OH GOD, I POSTED ON THE WRONG VIDEO "DOH!!!!!!!!"
Looking for the best mill to grind lentils, mung beans. Any of these from this video you suggest best fore this? WAnt control of coarseness, and low temp, to not disturb the quality. I like the victorio deluxe. advise would be appreciated. regards, erin
Dr grain mills crumb bread, especially tough types?
Any that are stainless steel NO PLASTIC, that are not huge (and grinds WET or dry)? TY
I have to ask..which will do corn and also tiny grains like teff and millet, and amarath please? Thank you!
Quite the nice manual coffee grinders.
Do you sell refurbished models of the wonder Junior mill?
Ok. So where are the links? Great video yeah where do you buy?
Will any of the units grind corn?
Please Sir, could you tell me :
-Which of the wonder junior and the country living is best for flax seeds? (you said both work)
-do they both perform well with corn?
-do you ship to Europe?
How does the Wondermill Jr's steel burr perform on grains? I'm wondering why they ship both when the Kitchen Living mill grinds finer wheat with its steel burr.
Great teaching demonstration! Are you still in business? The link above doesn't work for me; is there another? Thank you!
Glad I have my electric flour mill. No way am I hand grinding 6 cups of flour for a loaf of bread.....thanks for the reality video.
Good video too!
And what will you do if the electricity goes out?
The masa auger for the Wonder Jr doesn’t work, it was a poor design, it’s too short, I struggled for 20 minutes trying to grind one cup of corn.
Awsome review. Thanks
Im trying to figure out how exactly a plastic body is better than the aluminum body on the victorio. You could see that plastic flexing all over the place when cranking the handle. No way is that a step up. If I could afford it, I may get the country living or junior. I have no use for stone wheels since I mainly just grind corn, so stainless wheels are perfect for my needs
Why and how is the Wondermill Jr better than the Kitchen Living for nut butters?
I have a country living grain mill. Can I use it to grind dried plantain, turmeric and other things to make flour?
miriam samuel I doubt it, it’s built to only grind grains. I suggest using a blender or coffee grinder for dried plantain and turmeric.
Does it grind spices?
curious myself
Great intro.
"Good flour" doesn't tell us much about the quality of the flour. More informative description would be appreciated.
whoops, the link is dead/for sale.
very well done. thank you
In ROMANIA cand ajung .M-ar interesa.
Super producut
were you filming this with a hitech shovel
Pretty sure these guys are defunct.
I don't have a table to clamp these unit. To me they are useless and of no value to me.
