got my new grain mill, why I chose the nutrimill

[bornthrifty]

I chose the nutrimill, for those of you who are still considering a purchase
I settled on it because I found a good price, and a place with free shipping and no sales tax


it stores fairly compact (compared to others)
it is only as loud as a vacuum, (others are louder)
it will do a wide variety of grains, (unlike others)
it can be stopped and started (unlike others)
will grind first time fine enough for flour (unlike hand cranks)
and they say it is pretty much dust free ( we can only hope)
(yes I looked at hand grain mills, they take several passes to get fine enough, I may buy one later to have as back up, and to get cereals and eventually flakes, and even butters, but for now this will do)

just thought I would tell why, cause I know others are looking

I have the Family Grain Mill (hand crank), and find that it grinds quite fine with just one pass through - at least with wheat, spelt, and rye, which is all I've tried so far. I've read that others don't have that same success, but I have found it to be so.

the family grain mill was the other one I was looking at

I like that it can grind cereal sizes,

and that you can get a flaking attachment

has stone and steal burrs you can even make peanut butter....

and I think you can even get a motor that hooks up to it...

and it is quiet and doesn't over heat

sounds like a great mill,

glad to hear you don't have problem with flour size,( also glad I am done deciding), if I get a back up it will be the family grain mill for sure, don't think you can go wrong with either of these in the long run

for me, I talked to a lady who has both actually, and she said hand crank can be sort of a chore, and with my large family and my intention of using frequently I decided on the electric

talking about this "out loud"hoping these notes will help anyone who is in the market for a mill ...

i have the nutrimill and the only time you will have "dust" is if you don't get the flour container lid on securely...and then you will know it as soon as you turn it on i only did that once!
