I have had too many friends burn out the motor of their kitchenaide when making bread with fresh milled flour. Sooo I still have my Bosch mixer for bread.
Tip for those who use a scale to measure ingredients, weigh out the grains before milling. So if the recipe calls for 500 gr flour, weigh out 500 gr of whole grain, mill it & you will be good to go.
Thank you for this video. Trying to be a “city homestead” so looking for the ways to do this in a non-traditional homestead way. Our goal is to be the “weird” family! 😂until everyone else gets on board! 😂 see you soon. ❤️🙏🏻
We are urban homesteaders doing the best we can! Urban homesteaders may not be able to raise their own meats and only a few of us have hens for eggs, but we can work with nearby farmers for our meats, poultry, eggs, and produce to be self sufficient!
I have a mockmill 200 and I love it! After watching sue Becker’s video called “living bread” I’ll NEVER go back to store bought flour! Whole real grains is the way to go!
I just recently watched an episode of a TV pastry chef that visited a bakery that has gone back to stone grinding all their flours and meals, then they bake in the same shop. She spoke about the amazing difference between the flavor of typical flours versus the bread baked with the fresh stoneground flour. The owner told her the same thing you said regarding blades and stones. When I watch you I learn so much! You remind me that our ancestors had to be savvy in their day to day lives and the things we take for granted now, they had purposeful reasons for doing. Why can’t ALL instructions be as thorough as yours? Great episode! 🍞
I have the KoMo Fidibus Classic. I’ve had it for 4 years. Previous to that I had the same Nutrimill that your sister has. I LOVE my KoMo!! Like you mentioned I like the stones for grinding the grain. It has a wider range of choice for the fineness of the grain. And like you, I think it’s gorgeous on my counter. And even better, it is soooo quiet! It was worth the extra money to me! Your video was really great at explaining the differences 😊
I have an older, smaller Nutri mill which serves my purpose. I hadn't used it in a long while, and yesterday my husband reminded me about this. Today, you have this video on grinding your own flour. We are empty nesters and don't go through bread and other baking as much anymore, but this spurred me on to go get out my mill and use fresh flour and sourdough to make pizza for supper!
Love love love my Mockmill! I bought the 100 about a year ago and it it just fantastic! I have completely abandoned white flour and I’ve just ordered whole corn to start grinding for cornbread and tortillas! I’m so excited! I was thrilled when i first saw yours on the counter in a video! I knew you would love it!
Love my Mockmill, too! Did you get the little book on nixtamalization from the Breadtopia website? It is on my list for making tortillas and ditching store bough tortilla chips. Mostly asking because I am curious of the experience of anyone who has used that book. 😀
I have the Kitchenaid mill attachment. It is not fast by any means. I do love it though because I have a very small kitchen and need space saving devices. I have put a digital thermometer in the flour bowl as I was milling and the temperature was 81 degrees Fahrenheit. Not enough to lose nutrition. If milling a lot of flour the mixer itself can get hot. I don’t bake very often anymore but love using fresh home milled flour.
Funny, I had such a similar experience with my home milling experience. I was new to bread making and the Nutrimill was what I found on Amazon. It was inexpensive and had gotten a lot of positive reviews. It got me through several years of home baking. As I gained more experience and did more research I came across the Mockmill. And the rest is history. Best mill around!
Just ordered a refurbished nutrimill harvest which looks just like your mock mill, and it was $199 with a 5 year warranty. Looking forward to using it with my azure standard grain, Lord willing!
I started out with a wondermill and upgraded to my MockMill 100 for a family of 11 and I’ve never regretted it! It performs beautifully, I’ve never had any issues with it whatsoever and it has definitely ramped up my fresh ground flour game, I never buy store-bought flour anymore!
@@YeshuaKingMessiah The mess and the noise and the heat to the flour with the micronizing blades of the wondermill are what made me choose the MockMill. Also the versatility with the MockMill. All of the points that she talks about like being able to re-mill, the fact that you can mill a much larger variety of grains and beans and the coarseness variety with the MockMill, the fact that the flour does not get nearly as warm and it is way way quieter and versatile. Those variables plus all that was mentioned in this video were huge selling points for me.
@@jessicajohanson9162 even tho u didn’t a mill? She spoke on how the micronizers don’t rly get much hotter than stone. Why do u have to regrind the flour? There’s a range of grinds on the WhisperMill too. What type of grain are you grinding? Oh you have a Wondermill. I think they were the 2nd gen of the WhisperMill. They don’t have a range?
@@jessicajohanson9162 I’ve never milled beans as they need soaking to be absorbed. I guess you could soak after like the Indian dosha (I think) but there’s few recipes like that. For the few things I might possibly do (insta-refried bean), I use my coffee mill. But I keep that rare. Beans need soaking.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah Yes for sure for Chili etc., but for ezekiel bread you add dry beans with other grains and grind them into flour and then bake the bread
@farmhouseonboone Ihave a Mockmill 100 and I’ve had it for a year! I love, love, love it! I put mine on a cigar box and it raises it enough so that I can put a larger bowl under it! I use it a few times a week! I grind all different kinds of wheat, corn and peppercorns!
This is a great comparison! I bought a Komo Mio a few years ago, which I believe was designed by the same person who designed the mock mill, and I absolutely love grinding my own flour. We are visiting family right now and eating conventional store bought bread, it just doesn't hold a candle to homemade bread from freshly ground wheat. If anyone is on the fence about a grain mill....just do it! The taste is so much better!
I bake almost daily and lots of bread, and the white Mockmill 100 has been just fine. I bought it last year and it was less expensive than it is now. I believe the price increased about 25% last November. It is a workhorse and I expect it to last forever. In an interview, Wolfgang Mock said he is still using his original mill he built 30 years ago!
Thank you for this! I clicked the link and found they have a kitchenaid attachment. I have a kitchenaid and I think that will work for my smaller household. ☺️
I normally don't really enjoy RUclips videos that are all talking. But your voice is so soothing and your videos are so informative and well put together that I just can't help but listen and enjoy and learn.
My husband purchased me the nutrimill last year for my birthday because while I've wanted one of years I just don't spend that much money on myself. I love it and am so thankful. I agree though that your mockmill is so beautiful! Have a great weekend!
You are not spending money on yourself when you purchase something for your kitchen such as a grain mill! That grain mill benefits your family EVEN if it is only you and your husband. Another way to look at expensive kitchen helpers such as stand mixers or food processors is in the long run the item is helping you and your family stay healthy. By eating fewer processed foods, you are keeping everyone healthy so fewer medical bills and medications are required as you grow older. I know this works because I am in my 60s now and take no prescription medication nor am I required to see a doctor regularly. I have a food processor that is 35 years old and still going great!
@@Stephanie-rf9xs Yes, I agree. Her husband probably would have no problem spending money on tools if he were a farmer or mechanic. This is a tool for a profession.
I have a Mockmill 100 (what I could afford) and love it! I also recently bought a Bosch specifically for breads. I found my Kitchen Aids struggled a bit with whole grain flour. I don’t mind my Bosch being on the counter because I picked up the black with stainless steel bowl…it’s beautiful!
I have the KoMo Mio and it's a very similar design to the Mockmill. If it gets jammed I've found that if you turn the bowl to where you're opening up the stones while it's turned on, then it will spit the grain out. You can discard the little bit of grain that came out coarse from doing that. Maybe that will work for yours too if it ever happens again. I sort the grain, if needed, as I pour it into the mill so I don't turn mine on first. The only time it has jammed for me is when I had the stones very close together because of doing a super fine grind. I just started milling almost a year ago and I love it. I don't know what I've been doing all my life. 😆
I have the mockmill 100 in the white housing and love it. I chose it because of the small footprint and how less noisy it was and less messy than the older model magic mill that I had previously.
I have the wonder mill… which is a two piece system. It produces excellent flour but I definitely don’t keep it on my counter and the two piece system feels bulky. I purchased it from the local place I buy wheat from and learned to bake bread at per their recommendation. The mock mill seems really nice!
Same reasons why I switch to the nutramill harvest. I love the look and that it can sit on my counter. But I soon found I love that I can regrind flour and all the options the older nutramill didn’t have. The mock mill is great too. It was hard to choose between the two.
Yes! And the nutrimill harvest is $199 refurbished with a 5 year warranty also, if anyone is looking to get one on a budget. Happened to order mine just as this video came out
I just got a Komo Fidibus 21 Grain Mill today! I can't wait to bake sourdough bread with flour that I have milled myself because it will so much more nutritious. Thanks for all of your videos because they inspire me to be a better baker : )
I have the NutriMill Harvest (which is very similar to the MockMill). I love it. I am enjoying experimenting with different grains. Spelt is my favorite so far.
This was such a wonderful video with so much info. Thank you! Do you have a video or a blog post as to ratio for pre-milled grain to flour? I mean does one cup of pre-milled grains = 2 cups flour etc.?
If you use a kitchen scale it’s much more simpler. 120 grams is a cup of all purpose flour. So if 120 grams of grain goes into the mill, 120grams or 1 cup comes out of the mill. Freshly milled flour is so much fluffier than store bought packaged flour that you won’t get an accurate measurement if you use try to scoop a cup.
I have a very old Champion juicer that has attachments for grinding grains, I think I will start shopping for whole grains. I like the control and mechanism the Mockmill uses, I'm just trying to use what I own (but haven't been using!) Footprint is very important!
Oh my goodness I wish these were available when I was young. I would have loved to grind my own flour. Thank you for taking the time to make this. I am showing it to my daughter.
I have been looking into getting a grain mill myself. The mockmill sounds good but now what I need to know is the pros and cons of the different types of wheat berries. If you could do a piece on that it would be really helpful. Thanks for this information.
I have the white Mockmill. I have never put the grain in after turning it on, I always fill it then turn it on. Never had a problem with it jamming up or anything. Mockmill is worth the money, it grinds quickly.
I was just researching and comparing the Mockmill & the KoMo and ended up going with the KoMo because supposedly it can get the grain a little finer & it has a sifter attachment! I’m really excited to get it in & learn how to use it! A little worried about the learning curve, but I’m sure I’ll figure it out. 😬
I've never tried a MockMill, but I was given a nutrimill grinder like the one in your video. You're right about the dust if you don't make sure to push the bin all the way in. Also if you forget to insert the filter..... I was also given an older Wonder Mill/Whisper Mill but it doesn't have quite as large of a grain capacity. My trouble now is being able to FIND wheat berries. I buy hard white wheat berries for sourdough and most baking but everywhere seems to be out of stock in the larger quantities. Azure Standard is where I usually purchase from but it goes out of stock just as they process my order. Oh the fun of 2020-2022....
Thank you for the savings link, my order is on its way, yeah!!! I currently have the Nutrimill Harvest stone grinder, however, it sends flour dust everywhere unless I babysit it so the the makeshift flour shoot extender I made stays in place.
Ordering a grain mill soon. I have been researching for over a week now and have narrowed it down to either the Komo classic Mill which I hear grinds very fine flour and is beautiful as well, or the mockmill 200 and like you it has to be pretty so it will be the wood version..
It is pretty but...the grain hopper is very small and the grind dial is 'in' the hopper, which makes the hopper even smaller. I think it was a miss for them to design it this way, probably less cost in manufacturing.
My mother-in-law has an attachment for her kitchen aid. I love the idea of having a beautiful, stand alone mill for my kitchen (someday when my kitchen gets built 😆).
Was wondering what that tetra cotta colored thingie was. Now i know. Maybe in my younger years, but not interested in doing that in the stage of life I'm in now. But i can see why you are motivated to mill your own flour.
I have a nutrimill that I just love! Grinding your own flour is such a game changer. I have been doing it for two years now but I wish I had taken the plunge decades ago.
Excellent video! I’ve had a NutriMill for over 10 years, but I’m just not using it the way I used to because it sits “away” from the kitchen. It’s tedious for me to mill grain so I have been doing it less and less but want to get back into it. I like the ease of the Mockmill so I might be making a new purchase!!
Just order a nutrimill because you have inspired me so much! I now have a sourdough starter and have made fantastic bread and pancakes from your recipes! I am really interested to know what grain berries you use .
Thanks for a great review. I have a KoMo Duette coming tomorrow bc I wanted a flaker too. Taking my baking to new heights. Also own a kitchen aid, Bosch and Ankarsrum. Helps to have a huge walk in pantry with working countertop to store all these fabulous tools. Would love to see a video on your favorite grain sources.
Just picked up the Mockmill Lino 200, cause I’m a baller! Ok, not at all, lol bc the MM100 was sold out and I was scared they wouldn’t come back or the price would go sky high, and the cost now on the higher end models may be close to the later price of the base models. Also, that 12 year warranty helps if anyone is conspiring the Lino to white models.
I have the Mockmill Lino 200 and it is SOOO much easier to use than my Wondermill electric impact mill. I find myself milling grain two to three times a week because if the ease of use with the Mockmill
I’ve been undecided for some time on which grain mill to purchase. You video has inspired me to purchase the mockmill and thank you so much for the discount code.
Thank you for the video Lisa! This couldn't have come at a better time for me. I'm really wanting to make more food for scratch for my family and I actually just started my first sour dough starter! Just a few days ago i was wondering what the new mill you are using is, so when I saw this video I was very excited. Thank you for all the helpful information and inspiration you have shared over the years!
Mockmill is going to be the one I purchase. The white one has that little handle on the side and is used to determine how fine of a grind you want but in the official Mockmill videos of that one the demonstrator was sliding and turning that little handle back an forth several times especially for grinding corn, beans, chickpeas. Not just to change grinding preference but a bunch of times, twisting & turning, back and forth. Nope not doing that. I want this one that you have as the dial for the grind is on the rim. The one you have is the Mockmill Lino 200, right?
Please keep in mind that Mockmill 100 is a plastic composite and the 200 is a wood unit. We are trying to keep plastics out of our lives so I did purchase the 200 about a year ago and use it often. Love your sourdough videos.
I've been considering getting a grain mill for buckwheat, I am sensitive to gluten, so I use a lot of buckwheat flour and since I buy sprouted buckwheat flour it gets pretty expensive. I'm thinking in the long run I could save a lot of money if I sprouted and milled my own. Not to mention it would be a lot fresher. Thanks for the information, I tried looking at mills on Amazon, but I got so overwhelmed by all the options I gave up, this narrows it down for me.
I learn so much from you! I never knew such things existed, that is so cool!! I wondered what that was. I am now interested. Where do you buy your grains from? Thanks for the info. It makes so much sense to grind your own grains.
The mock mill is beautiful. How does the noise level compare to the nutrimill? I had a Ktec grinder that was painfully loud in addition to being woefully dusty. We would all wear ear protectors while using it-our kitchen looked like ground control ready for a plane to land any minute while it was running.
The Mockmill isn’t loud at all. I was showing it to a friend, and we had a conversation while it was milling. I’ve also milled grain after the kids went to bed and it didn’t wake up anyone.
Please do a video on what is going into the mill - example : if I want to make white flour then what do I buy to put into the mill ? Is the ratio the same ?
I’m so thankful for you sharing this. My husband & I were just in the last 2 weeks, talking about possibly buying a mill so this is very helpful! You always have such good content. ❤️
I've had my Nutrimill for almost 20yrs!! I keep mine on a round 3 tier rolling cart in the pantry with my baking stuff. I've thought about getting a newer (smaller) one but we shall see.
This is definitely on my further wish list! I’m currently using my vitamix dry container, which works very well, but only grinds a small amount at a time. Great review!
@@BriBayly no I use the vitamix dry container. It’s smaller than the regular container but more importantly the blades rotate the other direction so instead of sucking the contents downward it forces the grains upward. That way it doesn’t get packed down. I really love it!
Thank you for this video! It would be really helpful if you could do a video about how to use the home ground flour. Do we have to sift it? Does the texture is ok for baking a variety of things? Thank you!
Just bought my first mill and I’m super excited to get started. Where is a good place to buy wheat berries in bulk? Also, could you do a video explaining the differences in the berries/flour?!
I have the nutrimill that I used on my parents' farm growing up. They gave it to me when they downsized. I love it, but I agree, it is not attractive on the counter and I put it away with each use. It is awkward to get out, so I do use it less than I would like. It is also a pain to clean. Your mockmill is pretty and I like that you just set a bowl out. Just the other day I was hoping you would make a video on it! Very helpful video!

That's a good question. *Following*
One cup of grain usually equals 1 1/2 cups of flour in my experience. I don't measure the grain before I grind, just the finished product.
@@TheFarmhouseMom I have found similar. Sometimes it’s a little more or a little less depending on the grain though.
If you use a kitchen scale it’s much more simpler. 120 grams is a cup of all purpose flour. So if 120 grams of grain goes into the mill, 120grams or 1 cup comes out of the mill.
Freshly milled flour is so much fluffier than store bought packaged flour that you won’t get an accurate measurement if you use try to scoop a cup.
Thank you everyone for the information!
I have a very old Champion juicer that has attachments for grinding grains, I think I will start shopping for whole grains. I like the control and mechanism the Mockmill uses, I'm just trying to use what I own (but haven't been using!)
Footprint is very important!
Oh my goodness I wish these were available when I was young. I would have loved to grind my own flour. Thank you for taking the time to make this. I am showing it to my daughter.
WhisperMill in the 90s
Before then-Magic Mill!
My mom had the Magic-mill stone grinder!
@@YeshuaKingMessiah I still use my Magic Mill once in a while!
@@cynthiafisher9907 I bought mine used and it died on me within a yr
Thankfully
The WhisperMill seemed quiet comparatively!
@@carolynnscoffield440 it wasn’t a stone grinder. It was a micronizer. They burst the grain open instead of grinding it like the stones.
Send much love to you and your family! Thank you for great videos!❤
You have given me a drive to provide meals for my family in ways I only dreamed of your a blessing for me as a mom and homemaker
Appropriate timing of this video as I am literally just about to purchase a mill! Thank you for your intel
I have been looking into getting a grain mill myself. The mockmill sounds good but now what I need to know is the pros and cons of the different types of wheat berries. If you could do a piece on that it would be really helpful. Thanks for this information.
I absolutely agree☺️
Yes, I was just researching this myself and I’m a little confused.
I have the white Mockmill.
I have never put the grain in after turning it on, I always fill it then turn it on. Never had a problem with it jamming up or anything.
Mockmill is worth the money, it grinds quickly.
I was just researching and comparing the Mockmill & the KoMo and ended up going with the KoMo because supposedly it can get the grain a little finer & it has a sifter attachment! I’m really excited to get it in & learn how to use it! A little worried about the learning curve, but I’m sure I’ll figure it out. 😬
How much was shipping to get the KoMo? Just looking at the website and looks like it comes from Germany?
I heard the same but very hard to find
@@rachelbutler790 The Mockmill is also made in Germany.
thank you Lisa!
Can you make a video defining the uses for different grains?
Same! Would love this info. I believe Lisa uses an already ground bread flour in some recipes so when do you use what and why?
I've never tried a MockMill, but I was given a nutrimill grinder like the one in your video. You're right about the dust if you don't make sure to push the bin all the way in. Also if you forget to insert the filter..... I was also given an older Wonder Mill/Whisper Mill but it doesn't have quite as large of a grain capacity. My trouble now is being able to FIND wheat berries. I buy hard white wheat berries for sourdough and most baking but everywhere seems to be out of stock in the larger quantities. Azure Standard is where I usually purchase from but it goes out of stock just as they process my order. Oh the fun of 2020-2022....
Thank you for the savings link, my order is on its way, yeah!!! I currently have the Nutrimill Harvest stone grinder, however, it sends flour dust everywhere unless I babysit it so the the makeshift flour shoot extender I made stays in place.
Ordering a grain mill soon. I have been researching for over a week now and have narrowed it down to either the Komo classic Mill which I hear grinds very fine flour and is beautiful as well, or the mockmill 200 and like you it has to be pretty so it will be the wood version..
I've never ground grain but I've been wanting to and this video just got me so excited to start!! Hoping to get the one you have!!
The new Nutrimill is beautiful, it is a stone mill and it its even prettier than the Mockmill and way cheaper!
It is pretty but...the grain hopper is very small and the grind dial is 'in' the hopper, which makes the hopper even smaller. I think it was a miss for them to design it this way, probably less cost in manufacturing.
My mother-in-law has an attachment for her kitchen aid. I love the idea of having a beautiful, stand alone mill for my kitchen (someday when my kitchen gets built 😆).
Was wondering what that tetra cotta colored thingie was. Now i know. Maybe in my younger years, but not interested in doing that in the stage of life I'm in now. But i can see why you are motivated to mill your own flour.
I’m 57 and love grinding my own flour lol
I am 64 and I can't wait to taste a real piece of bread and when I finally get a mill I will be using it weekly
Thank you so much for this video, we decided to take the plunge and just ordered our mill.
Thanks very much for this , Lisa you have answered so many questions!
I have a nutrimill that I just love! Grinding your own flour is such a game changer. I have been doing it for two years now but I wish I had taken the plunge decades ago.
I have the white 200 Mockmill. Absolutely love it!
Excellent video! I’ve had a NutriMill for over 10 years, but I’m just not using it the way I used to because it sits “away” from the kitchen. It’s tedious for me to mill grain so I have been doing it less and less but want to get back into it. I like the ease of the Mockmill so I might be making a new purchase!!
Mock-mill is what I’m going to purchase. So, thanks for the demonstration🎉❤
Enjoy!!
Just order a nutrimill because you have inspired me so much! I now have a sourdough starter and have made fantastic bread and pancakes from your recipes! I am really interested to know what grain berries you use .
Will be buying one this week. Thank you, now I know what to get.
Hello friend..
I just love your baking videos, they are so informative…
Beautiful family 🥰🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸💕
Mockmill also makes the best corn/masa flour for corn tortillas!
I need to make corn tortillas. Which corn/berries do you use?
Thanks for a great review. I have a KoMo Duette coming tomorrow bc I wanted a flaker too. Taking my baking to new heights. Also own a kitchen aid, Bosch and Ankarsrum. Helps to have a huge walk in pantry with working countertop to store all these fabulous tools. Would love to see a video on your favorite grain sources.
Just picked up the Mockmill Lino 200, cause I’m a baller! Ok, not at all, lol bc the MM100 was sold out and I was scared they wouldn’t come back or the price would go sky high, and the cost now on the higher end models may be close to the later price of the base models. Also, that 12 year warranty helps if anyone is conspiring the Lino to white models.
I have the Mockmill Lino 200 and it is SOOO much easier to use than my Wondermill electric impact mill. I find myself milling grain two to three times a week because if the ease of use with the Mockmill
I’ve been undecided for some time on which grain mill to purchase. You video has inspired me to purchase the mockmill and thank you so much for the discount code.
What is the discount code? I’m trying to place order but can’t find the coupon code anywhere. Could you please share? Thanks
the nutrimill is out of stock at Amazon. Thanks for the content Lisa~
Thank you for the video Lisa! This couldn't have come at a better time for me. I'm really wanting to make more food for scratch for my family and I actually just started my first sour dough starter! Just a few days ago i was wondering what the new mill you are using is, so when I saw this video I was very excited. Thank you for all the helpful information and inspiration you have shared over the years!
There also is a cup that attaches inside the nutrimill that was not shown and had to be cleaned as well.
Mockmill is going to be the one I purchase. The white one has that little handle on the side and is used to determine how fine of a grind you want but in the official Mockmill videos of that one the demonstrator was sliding and turning that little handle back an forth several times especially for grinding corn, beans, chickpeas. Not just to change grinding preference but a bunch of times, twisting & turning, back and forth. Nope not doing that. I want this one that you have as the dial for the grind is on the rim. The one you have is the Mockmill Lino 200, right?
Please keep in mind that Mockmill 100 is a plastic composite and the 200 is a wood unit. We are trying to keep plastics out of our lives so I did purchase the 200 about a year ago and use it often. Love your sourdough videos.
I absolutely love my mockmill 200! I love grinding my own grain, peppercorns, etc! Definitely recommend it!
@Kyla Nevins I’ve never heard of using a mill like this for peppercorns! Does it affect the taste of your flour?
@@thesewinggarden7311 it can a little if you don't clean it by running a little white rice or wheat through it first....
@@kylanevins9456 Thank you so much for this tip!
@@thesewinggarden7311 you're welcome! 🙂
I've been considering getting a grain mill for buckwheat, I am sensitive to gluten, so I use a lot of buckwheat flour and since I buy sprouted buckwheat flour it gets pretty expensive. I'm thinking in the long run I could save a lot of money if I sprouted and milled my own. Not to mention it would be a lot fresher. Thanks for the information, I tried looking at mills on Amazon, but I got so overwhelmed by all the options I gave up, this narrows it down for me.
I learn so much from you! I never knew such things existed, that is so cool!! I wondered what that was. I am now interested. Where do you buy your grains from? Thanks for the info. It makes so much sense to grind your own grains.
From the mock mill website, azure standard and local places to me
The mock mill is beautiful. How does the noise level compare to the nutrimill? I had a Ktec grinder that was painfully loud in addition to being woefully dusty. We would all wear ear protectors while using it-our kitchen looked like ground control ready for a plane to land any minute while it was running.
The Mockmill isn’t loud at all. I was showing it to a friend, and we had a conversation while it was milling. I’ve also milled grain after the kids went to bed and it didn’t wake up anyone.
Fantastic, that’s encouraging, thank you!!
Hi darlin'! The click through isn't working for the mock milk...
I literally just searched your channel on this topic yesterday😆 thank you Lisa!
My mom has had the nutrimill for as long as I can remember! I haven't invested in a grain mill yet but my Vitamix does the job for now.
Do you have a special attachment for it? I have a vitamix and was wondering if I could use it for this until I can spend more money on one of these.
@@Shawnabeers78 Yes, I have a dry container for the Vitamix! It’s made to handle things like this, I’m not sure what would happen in a wet container.
Wow! Thank you for describing what that machine was! I was wondering what it was☺️Can you share where you purchase your grains?
Please do a video on what is going into the mill - example : if I want to make white flour then what do I buy to put into the mill ? Is the ratio the same ?
Soft white wheat is the closest equivalent to what we call white flour. Best for baking
White flour is processed by the factory more than you could do at home.
I saw that beautiful Mockmill on your counter and hoped this video was coming. Thank you for all the information🥰
I’m so thankful for you sharing this. My husband & I were just in the last 2 weeks, talking about possibly buying a mill so this is very helpful! You always have such good content. ❤️
I've had my Nutrimill for almost 20yrs!! I keep mine on a round 3 tier rolling cart in the pantry with my baking stuff. I've thought about getting a newer (smaller) one but we shall see.
This is definitely on my further wish list! I’m currently using my vitamix dry container, which works very well, but only grinds a small amount at a time. Great review!
I have a vitamix too! Do you use the food processor attachment?
@@BriBayly no I use the vitamix dry container. It’s smaller than the regular container but more importantly the blades rotate the other direction so instead of sucking the contents downward it forces the grains upward. That way it doesn’t get packed down. I really love it!
@@jillianhasner7386 awesome I’m going to check that out. Thank you!!
oh my gosh! Thank you so much for this video. anser so many Q? I had about the grain mill. off to order. HUG!
Thank you for this video! It would be really helpful if you could do a video about how to use the home ground flour. Do we have to sift it? Does the texture is ok for baking a variety of things? Thank you!
www.farmhouseonboone.com/podcast. episode 153 talks about milling your own flour and may be helpful to you
@@FarmhouseonBoone Imlistened to this podcast this weekend, but I still have questions… But thank you for your answer and your great work!
Just bought my first mill and I’m super excited to get started. Where is a good place to buy wheat berries in bulk? Also, could you do a video explaining the differences in the berries/flour?!

Thank you.
Thankyou Lisa..can you run us through your water purification system as well..very informative for those of us following yr footsteps. 🥰🇦🇺
She has a video on that already if you search. You can buy them in Aus.
@@ewen9415 ok then much appreciated
I have the nutrimill that I used on my parents' farm growing up. They gave it to me when they downsized. I love it, but I agree, it is not attractive on the counter and I put it away with each use. It is awkward to get out, so I do use it less than I would like. It is also a pain to clean. Your mockmill is pretty and I like that you just set a bowl out. Just the other day I was hoping you would make a video on it! Very helpful video!
UPDATE: Mockmill 100 back in stock today!! Just bought one...thanks you Lisa for the discount code :)
We just bought the Komi classic but it hasn’t arrive. Very excited!
I have a 100 and love it.
We have the nutrimill but do not use it much because it is just so loud! Do you find that the mockmill is any quieter?
Love the mockmill, also love the salt box!!
Do you have a video show😊in how to sub home milled bread for AP store bought flour?
I have a mock mill 100 and love it!
