 Great little grinder December 4, 2007

I've had this grinder for MANY years (about 12 I think). I don't use it real often, as it is slow work. I use a NutriMill electric grinder for my everyday flour grinding. But when we want corn bread or cream of wheat or rice, this hand grinder does the best! This meal does a great job of making a true course corn meal and farina/ "cream of ..." cereals. (You'll never want cornbread with storebought cornmeal again, once you've tasted fresh ground.)
For those things that don't require a large amount of grain meal, and that you don't do everyday, this is a great mill. For daily grinding of flour for several loaves of bread - I wouldn't do it.
Another reason I like having this on hand is if we'd ever be out of electricity, and I couldn't use my NutriMill.
Perfect! September 23, 2008

Just what I was looking for. It works great! We use it all the time to grind wheat for homemade bread and it does the job!

Let me just start by letting you know I have an electric grain mill that I use most of the time if I need flour. Hand mills are a lot of work and the flour is never as fine. Having said that, I own this hand mill and I have for a long time. I love it. I use it to crack wheat all the time, as well as I occasionly use it to make flour for bread. It is a long process to get the flour you would need to make a batch of bread, but if the power is out this is a life saver. I have tried a few different grinders and this one makes the best flour by far, plus it has been very durable. It works as well as the day we got it. I have not done anything at all to maintain it.
It is also compact so if you are just looking for a grain mill for emergency storage this is in my opinion your best option.
If you are looking for a hand mill, dont go with the cheapest one you can find you will just end up buying a new one later. Do it right the first time.
Wonderfully easy to use May 25, 2009

Nice sturdy grain grinder. Easy to assemble and use. I don't understand the complaints from some about the effort required to produce a cup of grain. I thought the machine was remarkably efficient and took relatively little effort. Think of it as exercise for your arms -- you would pay for the privilege at a health club.
Great hand mill that will last for years September 30, 2009

We have used our Back to Basics mill for years now and we love it. It does make flour fine enough for bread and pancakes no problem. If someone tells you they have this mill and it does make flour, they must have bought a defective one. Ours works great and has held up great for years now.
I buy wheat, spelt, oat, etc... seeds from the local health food store and make them into flour no problem. I even turned dried garbonzo beans into besam flour using this machine but I had to put the beans in a blender first to make them a bit smaller. This mill can almost handle a full sized garbanzo bean. It can handle grains no problem.
My kids love it too. We have made a variety of things using this mill like pancakes and bread.
I recommend this mill to anyone who wants to make their own flour for immediate use in the home and who doesn't mind using some elbow grease to do it.
