KitchenAidKGM All Metal Grain Mill Attachment

I would have given it a 5 star review but for a few issues with my old Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer. I worried since the mixer was so old it might not be compatable but it was! This was one of the reasons I was hesitant to order a mill for the kitchen aid but decided to give it a try. This worked well on my older model Kitchen Aid mixer. The weight of it was so heavy that it kind of sagged toward where the grinder was. I had to take off the bowl from the stand because the grain would wind up in front of it but it did not leave enough space below the older mixer design to place the bowl in front of it to catch the grain as it came through. I had to steady the mixer base while it ground the grains. I was happy that it worked and the fine grain seems good for baking. I have not had time to bake yet. I used a 24 oz bag of Kamut whole grain wheat to try it out. I fed the grinder in segments of about 2 cups at a time. It took a long time to get through the bag. It seemed a little louder than the normal mixer alone. It does not allow you to wash it in water. There was no smell to the actual grinder but the grain smelled very good that it produced. I know other people with Kitchen Aid Mixers and noticed theres had a different design than mine. I have a base that the metal bowl locks into.Thus, your experience may not be the same as mine. Again, I would give it 5 stars but for a few issues lining up an bowl to catch the grain and the weight of the grinder. I think it is a great value because of the quality of the grain it produces. I tried different levels too. I it has 12 levels of grain. Each level is different. It was very easy to set up and use.

I recently purchased the KitchenAid All Metal Grain Grinder, and it’s been a fantastic addition to my kitchen. If you already own a KitchenAid stand mixer, this attachment is a must-have for anyone serious about making their own flour or grinding grains at home.The build quality is excellent—it’s made entirely of metal, so it feels incredibly sturdy and durable. I’ve used it to grind wheat, oats, and even corn, and it handles each task without any issues. The adjustable grind settings are a big plus, allowing you to customize the coarseness from cracked grains to ultra-fine flour, depending on your needs.I love the ability to grind fresh flour for my baking. There’s something really satisfying about knowing exactly what’s going into your bread or muffins, and the flavor is noticeably fresher compared to store-bought flour. It’s also great for experimenting with different grains and blends.Installation is easy, and cleanup is straightforward as well. For anyone who wants more control over their ingredients and enjoys baking or cooking with fresh grains, this is a great investment. Highly recommend it for home bakers and anyone looking to step up their kitchen game!

I have an 8 qt commercial mixer. This mill works really well and has a very fine grind. I would purchase again and recommend to anyone wanting to buy one. It does take a little time to grind and a little noise. I do bake just not large quantities. Perfect for what I need it for.

I bought my KitchenAid milling attachment eight years ago and have used it to grind many pounds of wheat berries into flour. If you bake with whole grains, you'll notice a big quality difference between freshly ground flour and what you buy in the store (presuming you start with decent wheat berries). The flavor of your bread, muffins, whatever, is superior, and when you bake yeast bread, you get better oven-spring with fresh flour. My only criticisms are that it takes a while to grind a pound of flour and the grind at the finest setting is not what I'd call extremely fine. Once the flour is ground, I always stir it well with a whisk to evenly distribute the bran.Bottom line, the resulting loaves of bread (etc.) have been delicious. If you have a KitchenAid, this is a great tool and less expensive than buying a dedicated grain mill.

Nice grinder, excellent for very fine ground flour from wheat berries.Some reviewers say it is loud and slow, I however have not experienced that. This grinder does a great job. It is easy to install on the Kitchenaid, breaks down and reassembles easily for cleaning.

This works fantastic for milling whole grains. The amount of adjustability is perfect for our needs. We can get a variety of wheats and other grains locally and store for fresh milled whenever we want it. It even cracks corn. One of my favorite kitchen aid attachments.

Tldr: save yourself the money on your poor, expensive mixer and get a different mill.I gave it a shot despite the consistency in the negative reviews. I shouldn't have. This mill makes my mixer run very hot very quickly and the documentation says to let it cool down for 45 minutes after 5 minutes of work! Very slow work with not much floir produced, I might add. That's too long for too little for me when you bake and cook a lot.Documentation says to not grind anything oily or with moisture. What I attempted to grind had no oil or moisture. Other reviews/questions say chickpeas should be fine. They apparently are not. No, I did not use whole chickpeas. I used the tiny, dried leftovers my food processor couldn't blast to flour. I bought this mill to save my food processor. Shouldn't have bothered.Did it grind the chickpea bits into flour? Kind of. Static electricity from the grinding friction caked up in the mill and I had to take it apart to get anything out of it. That's when I discovered the burrs had apparently been grinding on themselves. See the photo. The hopper wasn't empty and I sat there babysitting it making sure the screw was constantly being fed. So the burrs shouldn't have been grinding on themselves that hard. They're steel, by the way, so that's even more disappointingly impressive.I bought the protection plan but they say to contact Amazon. Amazon says to contact KitchenAid (the number they give is disconnected). KitchenAid was no help either. So I'm just returning it.
