My DH wants to buy me a grain mill.  Which one and what type do you use or suggest.  I have an older KA mixer would and attachment be a good option? Maybe stand alone is better.  I have had shoulder/ wrist/ elbow issues, so would an electric one be better than a hand turn? What do you like or dislike about yours.

And yes if you have hand or arm issues an electric one would be best.  Grinding very dry wheat by hand is TOUGH!

I have a Family grain mill.  It is hand crank but you can buy an electric motor or get an adaptor for your KA or Bosch mixer.  You need to run the wheat through the mill several times to get it fine enough for flour.  I run it through on a coarse setting, then finer and finally finest.  I really like this mill.  It's simple to use and you get a great uppper body workout to boot!  It's no worse to use than a food strainer for tomatoes or apples.  I like this mill because you aren't dependent on electricity.   I would love to have the Country Living Mill but it's way out of my price range.

Thanks to everyone for you helpful information.  I'm thinking I may look locally for a grain mill but will probably end up purchasing online. The Country Living mill seems to be the one that will meet my needs best because I can purchase the acessories for grinding corn for meal and grits which is one of the reasons for wanting a grain mill.  They are a bit pricey so may have to wait while collecting more money :-)

I have a Cuisinart Supreme Grind Auto Burr Mill and I love it! It's small, inexpensive and does a great job of grinding flours for glutten free baking. It even grinds hard navy beans into flour and it didn't cost an arm and a leg.

I have not tried to grind corn in it so I can't answer that, but I do grind dried navy beans, which are far too hard for my coffee grinder. I also grind millet and sunflowers. It grinds more or less continuously. I just keep adding more into the top as it comes out the bottom, so it's not really limited to a specific amount. The bottom container holds about 2 cups. I sift it as I bring it out and toss the bits back in. There is one tiny part of each bean that doesn't grind so I usually have those left over when I'm finished, but it's not much.

The grind is adjustable from extra fine to larger. I always grind my flours extra fine because I make bread with them. You can see the bread made with the bean flour here: gluten free bread

I am considering writing a gluten free cookbook…
