Guest guest Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Hi Maureen, Yes, I have an old Magic Mill II, 25+ years old that I bought on eBay for about $60, five years ago. It is loud, dusty, a little awkward to handle and clean, but works well for me at least two times a week, making flour very usable for bread (wheat, rye, corn) and veggie sauces and is obviously quite durable. There is a lot of discussion regarding grain mills in the Mixer-Owners group, and I would say that the top pick there is the Nutrimill. Though there have been some recently that arrived with problems new in the box, the company supporting them (Kitchen Resource) has a great record for customer service. If you want a mill principally for larger legumes, I've heard that the old wooden cabinet Magic Mills with the stone grinders still work the best for this as they better feed the larger beans vs. the newer impact type mills that have to be nursed and nudged a bit. Mixer-Owners (This is an omnivore group, but the people are nice and helpful! Good Luck, Slim , Maureen <ailanthus wrote: > > Hi Slim, > > .... > Do you use a grain mill to make your flours?

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 I personally will vouch for what slim says about nutrimill. It is easy, efficient, quiet and doesn't make a mess. I just got mine 4 months ago for christmas and I was one of the ones that had problems right out of the box, but they Fed Exed me another one right away and did not even wait to the the first one back. I love it and am experimenting with amaranth and millit in my breads. Katie Maureen <ailanthus wrote: Thanks so much, Slim!
