Clearance: KoMo Mio Mill, Yellow
Combine the freshest-ever look in grain mill design with outstanding grinding performance and what do you get? The iconic new KoMo Mio! Winner of an international design patent, the German-made Mio has created noteworthy excitement in the grain mill world. One shopper’s immediate response was, "Are you kidding? Sign me up!”—enthusiasm that continues to be echoed by many. The striking beechwood veneer wood cabinet of the KoMo Mio features trim of Arboblend, a remarkable new injection-moldable bioplastic. Made of wood lignin and cellulose fiber and sometimes called liquid wood, Arboblend is attractive, lightweight and strong. Consisting of 100% renewable materials, it lets product designers use wood in ways that were previously impossible. The production flexibility of Arboblend has also allowed KoMo to make the Mio available at a price so low that, for a mill at this quality level, it's almost as amazing as the Mio's revolutionary construction.
Inside the Mio's sharp exterior is an exceptionally advanced, yet admirably simple, milling mechanism. Precisely fitted corundum-ceramic burrs grind to any texture you choose, from exceedingly fine flour to coarse meal or cracked grain. All by simply rotating the grain mill's hopper to align with your choice on the front texture setting scale. The Mio is as natural in its approach as the materials it's made of and the grains it turns into nutritious, delicious, fresh whole grain flour.
Power & capacity
All KoMo electric grain mills are equipped with specially developed motors that provide reliable and efficient power. The Mio, with its strong 360 watt motor produces 8-9 ounces of flour per minute for bread flour texture. Its large solid beechwood hopper holds 2 lb., 11 oz. of grain.
All dry grains can be ground with the KoMo Mio mill, including soft or hard wheat, oat groats (dehulled oats), rice, triticale, khorasan, spelt, buckwheat, barley, rye, millet, teff, quinoa, amaranth, sorghum, soybeans, and dent (field) corn. It will also grind lentils, dry beans (pinto, red, garbanzo/chickpeas, kidney & more), coffee beans, and dried, non-oily spices. It isn't suitable for oilseeds like flax or sesame, popcorn, cocoa nibs, cinnamon sticks, or sugar.
Dent (field) corn and soybeans can be ground to any texture from cracked to meal to very fine flour. For these very large-kerneled grains, grind first with the stones opened widely to produce cracked grain, then a second time if you want flour. The KoMo Mio will grind oats to a wonderfully soft, fine textured flour, but open the stones about five clicks (or so) wider than you would for a hard grain like wheat, otherwise the soft oat flour will fill the stones' furrows and in-feeding will stop. Opening the stones further will give you a cereal grind for porridge, or coarser yet for cracked oats, similar to steel-cut.
Easy to live with
As with all KoMo grinders, cleanup of the Mio is minimal and easy, and full access to the milling stones takes just seconds, without tools. A sealed lid keeps everything clean between uses. Sound level is a big issue with many grinders; being among the world's quietest-running grain mills, KoMo's products are kind to your ears and your nerves.
A lifetime mill
The excellence of engineering and construction that goes into every KoMo electric grain mill means that your mill can be expected to last a lifetime in normal use. Only the finest materials are used to make KoMo mills, and the European beechwood used in crafting their beautiful cabinetry is sustainably harvested.
At Pleasant Hill Grain, our experience spans the milling spectrum from home-use to commercial. As the exclusive U.S. importer of Austrian-made KoMo mills, Pleasant Hill Grain is proud to represent their fine European craftsmanship to our customers.

My first experience with a grain mill was my brother's Komo Classic. Having a hard time swallowing the large price tag, I decided to go with the Mio instead. Due to quality control issues, I had to have a replacement sent for the first one. The second was in better shape but still had quality control issues. The truth is, the $150 savings is just not worth it. The Classic seems like it will last a lifetime... the Mio not so much. I returned my Mio and ordered a Classic instead and am SO HAPPY with my choice!
I had only used the KitchenAid grinder attachment to mill grain before this, and its finest setting was still a ways from store-bought flour. This mill gives a very fine result, is straightforward and easy to use. I was wondering if the price difference from the "Classic" meant a lesser product, but I think it's just a bit smaller with some plastic trim. Very happy with the results.
This is a snap to adjust for fineness of grind and quiet to use. My previous mill (a high speed impact type) worked well but I needed hearing protection when I ran it. Not so with this mill. It’s about as loud as my stand mixer when grinding. The range of adjustment for fineness of grind is much wider than my previous mill. I have been able to grind from a coarse “grits-like” texture to fine flour. I believe it can grind more coarsely but I have not needed to do so yet. Finally, it is very attractive and fits easily on my countertop under my upper cabinets. It’s very convenient to leave it out and grind what I need just as I am ready to use it. I’m very happy with this mill so far.
This grain mill seems to work quite well. I have two issues with it, though: it has a high-pitched squeal when grinding hard grains such as kamut (otherwise, it is just loud), and the flour is much warmer than I feel it should be.
This mill is as quiet and grinds finely and as promised. I like not having to pay for the fancy woodwork of the original models. I previously had a classic Nutrimill and the Komo mio seems to fit my needs better at a now similar price. Thanks to all who have posted reviews in the past. The person I called to ask additional questions was extremely helpful as well. I’m told not to grind popcorn but I may void the warranty anyway just because I feel it will handle it without too much problem for the small quantities I do.
This grain mill is GREAT! I was hesitant at first to spend this much on a grain mill considering I have the Vitamix grain container, but I'm so glad I did. I'll mainly be using it to grind wheat berries for bread. If you're in the market for a grain mill, consider this one and you won't be disappointed.
We're a military family stationed in Japan and we're grateful we were able to buy this and have it shipped to us overseas. So thank you to Pleasant Hill Grain for this!
This is our first experience of using a grain mill. I'd heard they were loud and messy but this one is no louder than the mixer on high and I only have to wipe down the machine and the counter it's sat on after using it. The kids (2 and 3 months) love watching the flour coming out the spout. We like the simple design (load at the top and flour at the bottom) and easy clean up. We use it for grinding hard winter wheat for bread and other baked goods like muffins and banana bread. The flour is perfect! The last load we sprouted and dehydrated before grinding - those were hands down the best muffins I've ever eaten!!!
I previously was using my mom's old stone grinder from the 70s which grinds well but it's slow, super loud and very dusty. I went back and forth about which model to get and went with the Mio because of its tiny footprint on my baking counter. It is fast and no dust at all. Love it! I have used it for wheat, spelt and rye so far and I'm in love. It has taken my sourdough breads to another level!
Thanks to the whole team at KoMo. This is a solid mill that makes great flour. I got it for my wife's birthday so she can make the fresh, stone-ground sourdough she's always dreamed of. We're thrilled with it! We had an old Whisper Mill before this that finally gave out, and I'm honestly delighted at how technology has progressed. The Mio model is so affordable and still has everything we're looking for.
The KoMo arrived quickly and was very well packed for shipment. It produced excellent results after cleaning the stones. Solidly built and the settings are easy to use. The hard spring wheat and Sonoran wheat milled at the finest setting resulted in excellent bread. I am looking forward to many years use.
