Family Grain Mill / Grain Roller Mill |
• Versatile Multi-Grain milling: The grind is infinitely adjustable, from fine for bread flour, to medium for "Cream Of Wheat" style cereals, or coarse for steel cut or cracked grain (if you want to, you can adjust it to such a coarse setting that grains aren't even cracked.) The milling head grinds wheat, oats, corn, soybeans, rye, barley, rice, spelt, flax, buckwheat, millet, coffee, kamut, quinoa, and sesame (doesn't grind popcorn.) It will also mill some chopped, dry, non-oily herbs and spices. The Family Grain Mill grinds cool to preserve nutrients. Large 5 cup hopper capacity.
• Additional Functions: Available options for the Family Grain Mill are listed in the table below. They include the Food Processor which slices and shreds vegetables, nuts, fruits and cheese with 3 included stainless steel drums. The Flaker Mill head flakes soft grains and is popular for fresh homemade oatmeal, making a hearty flake from oat groats (oats with the hulls removed) that's thicker and chewier than store-bought flaked oats. See an interior picture and more details on the Oat Flaker Mill attachment here. The Food & Meat Grinder is available with a variety of disk sizes. |

-
Quality Construction: Manufactured in Germany by Messerschmidt, the Family Grain Mill is built with high carbon steel and the same super-tough material that football helmets and industrial safety shields are made of. It's a durable grain mill capable of a lifetime of dependable use.
-
Nutrient Preservation: The milling head's conical steel burrs work grain with a shearing action to avoid the "crushing friction" that creates high heat in common small grain mills — excess heat that can quickly destroy many of the nutrients in your flour. And unlike stone burrs, steel burrs won't gum up or glaze, and don't add grit to your flour. The Family Grain Mill's high carbon steel burrs are long lasting and easily replaceable. (Jump down page to see the burrs)
-
Fast & Easy to Use: One cup of fine flour is produced in just 2 minutes in hand operation, or a minute and a half with the 150 watt electric motor base. (It takes about 2/3 cup of wheat to make a cup of fine flour.) Because it doesn't grind with friction, the FGM's hand operated base turns easily, much easier than most hand operated mills. Overall time/effort is four times less than required by most hand mills — and most mills still won't produce as fine a flour. Hopper has generous 5 cup capacity.
-
Fast Cleanup & Dust-Free Operation: Family Grain Mill components remove quickly for cleaning. The grain mill head disassembles completely in five seconds, so it's quick and easy to have your mill ready for its next use. And where many mills create a cloud of flour dust to settle everywhere, the FGM operates dust-free.
-
A Quiet Grain Mill: The Family Grain Mill will be very easy on your ears.
-
Easy Setup, Compact Storage: The Family Grain Mill motor base is free-standing in use, while the hand base clamps quickly and securely onto a table or counter edge, without marring. Small or large bowls will fit under the mill head to collect flour. Modular design of the Family Grain Mill stores compactly.
-
Mills: Wheat flour, corn meal flour, oat flour, rye flour, barley flour, rice flour, spelt flour, flax flour, buckwheat flour, millet flour, coffee, kamut flour, sesame, and more. Also cracks grain to any size -- you can set the adjustment dial to any size from flour or meal to cereal grind or cracked grain.
-
Warranty: Manufacturer's lifetime warranty (excluding replaceable burrs).
-
Electric: The motor base for the Family Grain Mill is rated at 150 watts, and turns at a loaded speed of 120 RPM.

I wanted to thank you — I was going around in circles deciding which mill to purchase to replace my old expired mill. You were very helpful, answering my questions. I purchased the Family Grain Mill, and I really love it. I love that I can wholly disassemble and reassemble it in a jiffy, to clean it or clear it (though I haven’t had to do that) or see how it's doing. It is also truly able to adjust its grind to coarse or fine and the finest grind is fine enough for all the baking I do. And that flaker! Wowser, what oatmeal! ...and rolled oats/spelt/wheat for my granola! My ten year old son loves to use the hand base, but mostly we use the electric. Anyway, I love it and want to thank you for your help, and speedy shipping. I have been having a blast with my mill ever since, it’s perfect for us. – Maggie Brown, Brookside NJ

Adapter for Bosch Universal Mixer |
|
Adapter connects Family Grain Mill attachments here in "FGM Section C" onto the drive base of the Bosch Universal Mixer (as well as the Universal Plus model of mixer.) To see how this works, click here. If you want to use the FGM meat grinder and this adapter to fit onto the Bosch Universal Plus mixer, you will need to fashion your own block, 5" tall, to support the neck of the meat grinder, or else use one hand to support it while pushing meat down into the grinder throat, otherwise it would be tippy. Separate support isn't necessary for the grain grinder or flaker mills because the weight of grain in FGM hopper isn't sufficient to cause the assembly to tip. (Note: FGM grain mill and flaker mill attachments are now available to fit directly onto the Bosch Universal mixer. Click here to jump down the page to see the Bosch-direct-fit attachments.) |
Adapter for KitchenAid Mixers |
|
Adapter connects Family Grain Mill attachments here in "FGM Section C" onto KitchenAid mixers of 325 watts or more. Because all of these "Section C" components can be used with the available hand crank base, this option provides a non-electric option as well, for those who want that. (Note: Some components are also available to fit directly onto KA mixers without an adapter. To see the KitchenAid-direct-fit attachments, see "Section D" below.) |
Adapter for Bosch Compact Mixers |
|
Adapter connects Family Grain Mill attachments here in "FGM Section C" onto the drive base of the Bosch Compact Mixer. Because all of these "Section C" components can be used with the available hand crank base, this option provides a non-electric option as well, for those who want that. |
Adapter for Electrolux Mixers |
|
Adapter connects Family Grain Mill attachments here in "FGM Section C" onto Electrolux DLX mixers. Because all of these "Section C" components can be used with the available hand crank base, this option provides a non-electric option as well, for those who want that. |
Adapter for Viking Mixers |
|

Replacement/Spare Steel Burr Set |
Original burr set will generally last for several years in normal use but it's easier to have the spares on hand than to order them later. Replaceability of burrs is one of several key advantages the FGM has over the multitude of cheap throw-away manual mills on the market. |

The attachments in Section D below fit Kitchen Aid mixers. These attachments are German-manufactured and are far superior to attachments made by KA. Note: These direct-fit KA attachments in Section D, below, fit only the Kitchen Aid. They will not fit the standalone motor drive or hand drive base in sections A, B, or C, above.
(Note: An adapter may be purchased in Section C, above, that will allow Section C components to be adapted to the KA mixer. Purchasing components from Section C, above, will allow you to operate those components with the optional hand crank base, if you experience a power failure. Section C also includes the FGM Meat Grinder which can be used with the adapter. FGM does not make a meat grinders to fit the KitchenAid directly without the adapter.) |
Note: Kitchen Aid states that, starting with a cool mixer, accessories may process a maximum of 10 cups of ingredients, then the mixer must be allowed to cool a full 45 minutes before further use. Kitchen Aid mixers must be operated on speed setting #10 and must be rated 325 watts or higher to use such attachments. (Note: If you're in the market for a mixer that will do larger batches of heavier dough, as well as accept FGM milling attachments without such restrictive limits on batch size and running time, see the workhorse Bosch Universal Mixer that will "do it all" in your kitchen.) |

Meat Grinder for Kitchen Aid Mixer, made by Jupiter |
|
Jupiter Meat Grinder for KitchenAid
This high quality meat grinder is made by the Jupiter company of Germany and has a metal housing. It has a large 8" diameter meat tray and a durable poly food pusher. Includes medium (4.5mm) and coarse (8mm) cutting disks. Note: Kitchen Aid states that, starting with a cool mixer, accessories may process a maximum of 10 cups of ingredients, then the mixer must be allowed to cool a full 45 minutes before further use. Kitchen Aid mixers must be operated on speed setting #10 and must be rated 325 watts or higher to use such attachments. Tip: Be sure your meat is chilled to near freezing (but with none of it actually frozen) before grinding. This both reduces the load on the motor and improves the quality of your ground meat.
Construction quality and performance of the Jupiter grinder are on a par with the Messerschmidt grinder shown immediately below.
(Also see "Section C" above for additional grinder disks, and replacement knives for the Jupiter meat grinder.)
