Buying guides, answered from the manuals

Each guide works through one decision with two mills as its worked examples, quotes the manual clause that settles it, and names the places where the manuals say nothing and no answer is available.

All 5 guides

  1. Guide

    How to mill your own flour

    What the NutriMill Classic and Mockmill 100 manuals instruct: loading the hopper, setting texture, running the batch, and cleaning afterwards.

    Updated September 12, 2026

    1. Check the grain firstBoth manuals put the inspection before the hopper, not after it.
    2. Switch on in the stated orderThe Mockmill 100 manual insists the mill runs before the hopper is loaded; the NutriMill Classic documents do not.
    3. Fill the hopperEach manual states its own limit, and they are not the same limit.
    4. Set the textureA numbered lever on the Mockmill 100, two knobs on the NutriMill Classic.
    5. Catch the flour, then cleanNeither the NutriMill Classic nor the Mockmill 100 supplies a flour container.

  3. Guide

    What you can and cannot mill

    The NutriMill Classic manual permits 31 items and excludes 17; the WonderMill manual permits 18 and excludes 9. Where they agree, and where they do not.

    Updated September 11, 2026

    1. A permitted list is that maker'sIt is not a statement about grain mills in general.
    2. Oily seeds are excluded on bothThis is the one exclusion the two manuals genuinely share.
    3. Oats and pseudocereals divergeThe two lists disagree here, and the disagreement matters.
    4. Moisture has a pinch testOne manual gives a test to run before committing a batch.
    5. Unlisted means askEach manufacturer states its own procedure for an ingredient it never named.

  4. Guide

    Cleaning and maintaining a grain mill

    What the Mockmill 100 and KoMo Fidibus Classic manuals actually state about water, oil, grit and stones — and where each document is silent.

    Updated October 22, 2026

    1. The mechanism decidesA stone mill and a burr mill do not share a cleaning routine.
    2. Water is the first questionThis guide quotes what each manual states about it, and where one is silent.
    3. Oil, not dust, is the problemDust is cosmetic. Oil is what the exclusions exist to prevent.
    4. The rice practice has one sourceIt is stated by one document here, not by both.
    5. Maintenance touches the warrantyThe warranty terms name what the owner is responsible for.

  5. Guide

    Manual vs electric grain mills

    The hand-cranked Country Living mill against the 1200-watt NutriMill Classic on effort, batch size, motorization, off-grid use and published evidence.

    Updated September 11, 2026

    1. Effort versus outletOne asks the operator for it, the other asks the kitchen.
    2. Batch size and where flour landsThe capacity gap is what changes a week's baking.
    3. No throughput is publishedNeither maker prints a rate, so neither speed can be quoted.
    4. Motorizing has a clauseThe hand mill can be motorized, and one clause governs what that does to the warranty.
    5. Off-grid is one sentenceThe documentation says exactly one thing about pedal power.
