I'm not familiar with that exact model but usually you turn it on and then just pour the grains in the top funnel and flour comes out the side or bottom. Maybe do a google search for a manual on your exact machine. Good luck and have fun!

As to the Mill & Mix stones- Are your stones broken, worn out? I have been using my Mill&Mix since the mid 1980's on a regular basis. I have never needed to replace the stones. After a while of use-about every 6 months or after a very large grinding they will build up a type of film(I will call it that). From the oils of the berry. What I do is grinder dry corn on a very course setting. This will scrub off the oil film and the stones are then ready to go again. With a family of 14 I grind quite a bit of wheat making 8-10 loaves a couple times a week. I love my Mill & Mix it is a power house and if you can find one it is more than worth its weight in gold!

What is the brand name? We can only give our experience with the brands we've tried.

Your best bet would be to get a manual grinder and find a way to power it. The Wonder Junior has a great drill bit adapter, or you can also get a motorized pulley for it.

Are the grinders made in China any good? There's one on eBay, and looks like a good deal ,but I am concerned with the quality...

I can grind as coarse as cornmeal in the electric mill. If you are looking for more of a cracked grain consistency you would need to use a manual grinder for that. I think most electric mills just do not have the ability to do it without making it too fine. Sorry!

I have a question. Reviews that I read about the Wonder Elec Mill said that the coarse selection did not really grind it coarse. They said not much difference between the coarse and regular grinding. Is this true? I am about to purchase a grinder but want to make sure I can get coarse chunky grains for my bread making.. 12 grains in bread that have the coarse seeds in the dough. Let me know. Thanks. Kay

Julie and Jodi,
Awesome article. Y'all are doing a great job on helping folks getting prepared, with food storage, for the rough times ahead.

So,

I would like to suggest an extremely inexpensive addition to your list that I found reading "Nuclear War Survival Skills" many years ago.

It involves three pieces of pipe, wired together, and a metal can resting on a piece of concrete.

Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine - Nuclear War Survival Skills, Chapter 9: Food

PS. I believe, this would make a great handout for any family planning to help the neighbors during a food crisis.

I have a magic bullet blender. I have made oat flour in it and use the flour for pancakes and things. Works great. And I can make smoothies too. Less expensive then the other electric grinders you have listed.

I'm sorry if you already posted this somewhere, but how many minutes does it take the Wondermill Junior (hand-crank) to grind one cup of whole wheat flour?

good reviews.

The family grain mill: you can buy a $30 adapter and use it with your kitchen aid machine or bosch machine. That way you can have the hand crank and also an electric option for everyday use. So you would spend $119 + $30 for a grinder that does both! Pretty good deal and it works great!

Denise, The Wonder Junior can grind nuts and seeds. It is a manual grinder but one of the better ones. Any electric grinders will have problems with grinding nuts. If you want to learn about the Wonder Juniors you can look under our products tab for more info on the WonderMill products.

I am allergic to wheat and am interested in making almond flour. Do you have a suggestion on the best ginder for this task?

I'm interested in the Family Grain Mill Manual Hand Base model- does anyone else use this mill- does it have low flour dust, space for a bowl underneath, pros/cons? Thanks for the additional information on the grain mills- I appreciate all the research.

I love my WonderMill! My parents gave it to me for my birthday about a year and a half ago and it's been great.

Angela, Thanks for the link! Hope our info helped you out :)

Cutie Pie, Thanks for the heads up on the family grain mill. I had never heard of them before. I'm going to add in a little more info in the post now.

Kylene, I'm modifying the post to give more details on some manual/electric combo options.

Wow, I posted a question on my blog about wheat grinders the same day that you posted this. I will link you up! :)

You didn't mention this one but I like that it has a manual option and an electric option. I have the "family grain mill" and I really like it. It's good for those of us who want it all. :-) Instead of buying a separate motor I just got an adapter and can use it with my Bosch machine. Got mine at pleasanthillgrain.com Does a good job and I've been making fluffy delicious 100% whole wheat bread with it.
