Re: Grinder for corn meal

Hi Rick and All,

Overall most of our customers nowadays tend to buy from us an impact type of mill since all they are concerned with is grinding flour, an impact mill would be of the type like the K-TEC Kitchen Mill. This type of mill is reasonably priced at $159.00 http://www.juicersforless.com/produc...oducts_id/1604

The impact mill type can literally make the finest flour, but the drawback is that it can not really create flour that is coaser than polenta for example.

In the cases where a customer needed a mill that could grind both coarsely and fine, we would have to reccomend something like the the WolfGang Flour Mill which is very nicely crafted of wood, even though it is our entry level model of this type, it is $289 and obviously out of budget for many people.

More recently a customer asked us about carrying the Family Grain Mill. After looking into this mill, it did seem to have very good capabilites, we acquired all the info on it, but just had not added it to our web site, I have just added it in a few combinations as of right now.

You will see that you can order it in a manual configuration for $88.00, for $178.00 you receive both a electric motor base along with a manual hand base so it can be used either way. Also the mill has a modular design so you can purchase other attachments to use with it like an oat flaker. So for example if you ordered it as a package with the motor base, grain mill and flaker attachment, someone in your household could make mill flour for making bread with the electric base, while someone else could make rolled oats with the manual hand base. The mill can also grind herbs, and some beans too.

By the way, Bruce had mentioned the Coronna gain mill. We do sell something very similar to that, the Miracle ME150 http://www.juicersforless.com/produc...products_id/99
To be honest, right before Y2K, we were selling a great deal of these mills, nowadays not many at all. In researching mills, I ran accross a web site where someone tested a bunch of different mills and felt that the Family Grain Mill was best for bread flour, but the texture of the flour produced by the Coronna was just horrible.

I hope this info is helpful to you. Yes we besides having CyberMacro with the forums etc, also sell products like natural foods, pressure cookers, and grain mills, but I generally do not use the forums to make direct advertisements for them as I am doing in this case in answer to Rick's question on the grain mill. But these web sites do support CyberMacro, so if you have not taken a look at our other web sites selling natural foods and cookware please do, www.discountnaturalfoods.com www.qualitynaturalfoods.com www.juicersforless.com


Thanks,

Gary
