Oh, I DIDN”T read too carefully, either on that site or on my comment, apparently.

I happened to be browsing what looks like the official Komo grain mills site, and it mentions inserts you can use in their mills that make it possible to switch back and forth between regular and gluten-free grains without cleaning. I read too carefully, so I’d recommend you read it for yourself. http://www.pleasanthillgrain.com/KoMo_grain_mill_wolfgang_flour_mill_grinder_mills.aspx

I apologize if it’s bad form to post a link to another site that sells the same product you do. I just wanted to help.

Are you sure, Joe? I own one and use it all the time and there’s no easy way to take it apart. There are a lot of Wolfgang/Komo mills. Maybe some are easy to clean.

You also sell the Komo which can be taken apart and cleaned in no time.

Hi Richard,

Of the ones we sell, only the WonderMill Jr hand mill can be fully taken apart and cleaned. It’s not difficult exactly, but not something most people would want to have to do a lot as it would probably take at least several minutes plus allowing for drying time. The other mills don’t give you access to the grinding wheels.

I need to find a mill that can be easily cleaned. I have a daughter who has a gluten allergy, so we would be grinding rice for her and wheat for us. We can’t have any wheat getting into the rice, so I was wondering how easy it is to clean these. Thank you.

Hi, I’m making bread with my Komo with a sifting attachment. The problem I’m having is measuring all the ingredients. I have a nice digital scale and a measuring jug but I am still having problems. It seems that flour is measured by volume (as in cups and tablespoons, Etc). I tried to find a set of various measuring cups and spoons but can’t find then anywhere. I’m thinking of cups that you can just fill up and then level off for an accurate volume measurement.

Maybe I have got it all wrong and there’s a simple way to work out the correct ratio of ingredients using a metric scale such as I already have!

If anyone has any tips, I’m all ears. I’m using a large stand mixer and I have found that I can get a perfect consistency by carefully timing each stage. The wild card is getting the ratio of ingredients exactly the same mix to mix. Friends and neighbours love the sifted whole wheat bread but I want to produce consistency that all their kids like.

How well does the KitchenAid mill work? I’m particularly wondering about noise level, dust and fineness of flour. Thanks

Mark, seeing as you’re borderline ‘pre-diabetic’, I would highly recommend checking out the Weston A. Price Foundation and what they have to say about nutrition. They’re a nutrition education foundation that have improved the quality of life of many people with many dietary issues. A good article for starters is http://www.westonaprice.org/traditional-diets/ancient-dietary-wisdom.

Hello,
I’ve been using the KitchenAid grain mill attachment for a while. I’m wondering if another type of electric grain mill (like the Wonder Mill) would produce a flour that is more fine. Have you compared these two products as per texture?
Thank You.
