The Country Living mills are super pricy but nice. The difference between these and lower end mills is obvious when you use them. They’re easier to turn and they can range from cracked grain to cake flour fine. I’ve heard good things about the Wondermill Jr, and they can be easily rigged to a bicycle. I haven’t used one, but they’re about half way between the lower end mills and the Country Living mills on the price scale and widely liked. I’ve got a Roots and Branches deluxe mill and the optional motor. I’m happy with it for what I paid. The motor is definitely a nice add on for regular use. If necessary I’m pretty confident I could rig it to a bicycle. It will grind flour fine enough for bread but I wouldn’t want to bake a fine cake with it. Eventually I’ll probably invest in a Country Living mill, but this one has served me well for my use and it’ll be a fine backup. More on reddit.com

I don't have one; I researched them pretty extensively a few months ago and found that some people love them, but you better be prepared to get a good one, and then to leave it set up in place. And then to have a good workout any time you want flour. I decided it wasn't for me (though apparently you can buy kits to convert them to be attached to a stationary bike so you can power it by pedalling; intriguing, but still not for me ;) ) More on reddit.com

I've had all the ones on sale in the US except the Diamant. After using all them them for a while, my STRONG recommendation is that if you care about being able to hand-crank it, get a Country Living Grain Mill. That doesn't limit you to only hand cranking the CLGM, I electrified mine. The cheaper ones are a false economy. The Victorio Deluxe, Wondermill Jr. etc all produce really inferior flour to the CLGM and often are harder/more tiring to use as well. More on reddit.com

I’ve been grinding my own flour for 22 years now. Love the freshness of the flour. Here’s a list of my experience: grain lasts a LOT longer than already ground flour. freshness is unparalleled the KitchenAid Grain Mill attachment seriously sucks, avoid at all costs unless you want it for making cream of wheat (very coarse grind) my first mill was a KitchenMill, good but didn’t last as long as I thought it should’ve. second mill I got was the NutriMill Harvest Grain Mill, absolutely excellent and decently priced, watch for sales at big holidays. They seriously stand behind their products. Their customer service is outstanding. No I’m not getting paid for this, hahah. I buy grain in 25 lb bags from Amazon nowadays since grain is more scarce than it used to be in New Mexico. I buy Hard Red Spring Wheat for its higher gluten content for breads, and buy Soft White Winter Wheat for making tortillas. More on reddit.com
