Clearance: Wonder Junior Deluxe Grain Mill, White

This is an R2 clearance item. Please check the table below to see how we rate our clearance items. 

Note: The product images on this page are of a new item, with the exception of any images marked “Clearance item”.

NOTE: This is the original style Wonder Jr. Deluxe mill, not the new Wonder Jr. Deluxe+. The differences in this style are that it has a single grind adjustment knob rather than a two-knob system, the shaft pin is permanent rather than a pull-pin, and the stone and steel burrs rest on three pins rather than locking onto the base of the mill.

The Wonder Junior Deluxe+ grain mill comes with interchangeable milling heads that lock onto the body of the mill: One pair is stone and the other pair is steel. This allows a range of milling options and flour results that can't be matched by other grinders having only a single set of milling heads. The steel burrs tackle wet or oily materials and are also best for certain dry materials, while the stone burrs provide a fine grind for dry grains and dry beans. When using either set, the grind is quickly and infinitely adjustable from extremely coarse to extremely fine, or anywhere between. Two optional powering accessories are also available for the Wonder Junior mill—a power drill adapter and pulley wheel—to further extend its usefulness.

Grinding speed & quality

The Wonder Junior is among the easiest-operating hand crank grain grinders on the market. With the quick change head system you can switch from grinding dry grains, beans and legumes to oily or wet grains, nuts, seeds or coffee, in just minutes. The Wonder Junior is a fast hand mill, producing 1-1/4 cups of fine wheat flour in 1 minute with very reasonable turning effort. It has a generous hopper capacity of over 1 quart.

Stone Burrs

The thick, 4" diameter corundum stone burrs of the Wonder Junior mill combine aggressive precision grinding with long burr life. Using the stone burrs, your Wonder Junior can grind wheat (both hard and soft), oat groats (dehulled oats), rice, triticale, kamut, spelt, dry beans, lentils, dent (field) corn, popcorn, dried sweet corn, split peas, buckwheat, barley, rye, millet, teff, quinoa, amaranth, sorghum, dried mung beans, garbanzos, and more (all dry grains and beans.) The Wonder Junior can easily be adjusted to grind coarse, fine, or anywhere in between—so you're ready to make flour, grain meal, cereal grinds, cracked grain... you name it. Switching between stone and steel burrs takes less than two minutes.

nullStainless Steel Burrs

The 4" diameter stainless steel burrs of the Wonder Junior mill can be used with any of the dry grains and beans that the stone burrs can be used with. In addition, the steel burrs can be used for oily or wet materials that would gum up and/or clog grinders that use only stone burrs or impact-style milling heads. In conjunction with its newly redesigned, highly aggressive feed auger, when using the steel burrs the Wonder Junior mill can grind nuts, coffee beans, herbs, spices, oilseeds like flax, fibrous materials or sprouted seeds or grains, cacao nibs, dried bone, alum and more. (The Wonder Junior is not suitable for grinding dried carrots or mesquite bean pods.) The Wonder Junior can easily be adjusted to grind coarse, fine, or anywhere in between. The steel burrs prepare you to easily turn out nut butters, grain flour, steel cut oats, meal, cracked grain and more. The Wonder Junior grain mill equipped with its steel burrs has the widest range of grinding capability that can be found. Read the Wonder Junior Deluxe grinding list here.

Rugged construction

The robust construction of the Wonder Junior grain mill is seen in its solid metal unibody design, heavy duty replaceable bronze bearings, large diameter (5/8") steel drive shaft and a heavy duty crank arm with handle that's sized to be comfortable for every hand. Each component of the Wonder Junior is more than strong enough for decades of daily use. The construction of the milling body extends to the milling heads as well. The steel and the corundum stone burrs alike are engineered for both excellent grinding performance and long life. The entire main body of the mill is powder coated—a food safe, super tough, long-lasting finish that helps make cleanup a breeze.

Dual Grip Clamp

The Wonder Junior's table clamp wasn't an after-thought, as is the case with many mills. It attaches easily, and with its large dual clamp screws it won't slip during grinding. The large swivel pads on each screw mean it won't chew up your table, and it accommodates surfaces up to 2-1/8" thick.

Quick Cleanup

It takes just one to two minutes to clean the mill out after grinding a material like dry grain, and a handy brush is included that makes it easy. Because the Wonder Junior Deluxe+ includes the Flour Guide as standard equipment, you won't have flour scattered around on your counter. Cleanup takes a little longer after grinding wet or oily products (like when making nut butter), but the mill's quick, tool-free takedown makes any cleanup simple and hassle-free.

nullOptions

The Wonder Junior Deluxe+ comes very well supplied with all of the essentials. Included standard are the mill itself, the stone burr set, the steel burr set, the flour guide, the table clamp and a handy cleaning brush. The new Masa Auger attachment is also included. Optional available items include the drill adapter and the pulley wheel.

The Wonder Junior is a well thought out and well built mill that's ready to go the distance.

Accessories

The Drill Adapter and Pulley accessories are shown below. Other accessories that are included standard with the mill can be seen on our Wonder Junior Deluxe grinder parts page in case you want a spare or replacement, or bought your mill earlier without one of the things that now comes with the mill.

Clearance Note: We have a Wonder Jr. Delux mill on clearance here.

Masa and Nut Butter Auger for Wonder Junior

With the new masa harina auger for the Wonder Junior Deluxe grain mill you can grind wet and oily grains, oily seeds, nuts and coffee beans!

In stock Usually ships in 1-3 business days.

Drill Adapter for Wonder Junior Mill

This adapter lets you power your Wonder Junior grain mill with an electric drill. The mill should not be turned at more than 300 RPM (revolutions per minute), which is about twice the typical speed of hand cranking. With many drills it's difficult to maintain a particular speed. The DeWalt DW130V is one drill that users have found it pretty easy to control the speed with. Powering the Wonder Junior mill using this adapter and a drill does not void the manufacturer's warranty. The Power Drill Adapter includes a special tool that makes handle removal easy.

Bicycle Sprocket Drive for Wonder Junior Mill

Chain Sprocket fits on the shaft of your Wonder Junior Hand Grain Mill so you can hook it up to a bike. The chains of most modern bicycles will fit the sprocket, and mill speed must be no more than 300 RPM. User is solely responsible for safe design and operation of any drive system, including full shielding, which is essential for safety.

In stock Usually ships in 1-3 business days.

Pulley for Wonder Junior Deluxe Mill

This large heavy duty pulley wheel accepts standard V-belts and can be used to provide power to the Wonder Junior Deluxe mill from a variety of power sources. Whatever power source you may use, the Wonder Junior needs to be turned no faster than 300 RPM (revolutions per minute), which is about twice the typical speed of hand cranking. Power sources are limited only by your imagination. One popular approach is adapting a standard or exercise bike so you can use leg power rather than arm power. An electric motor can be used, but note that motorizing the mill voids the manufacturer's warranty. (Use of the manufacturer's separate Power Drill Adapter accessory does not void the warranty.) The Pulley Wheel includes a special tool that makes handle removal easy. If you motorize your mill, a full belt guard is essential to prevent injury.

Whole Grain Demo Set

A picture's still worth at least a thousand words. Want to show your family and friends just what they're being shorted by eating food made with so-called white flour? Here's the ideal tool to put things in perspective. The first of the six vials in this set contains whole wheat kernels, recognized throughout history as the "staff of life". At the opposite end is bleached white flour, as gleaming and nutritionless as industrial science can make it. And the same thing is done to other types of grain.

The four middle vials with the wood base showcase the nutritional riches that today's commercial millers sacrifice on the altar of unlimited shelf life: The bran, middlings, wheat germ, and wheat germ oil, where virtually all the goodness of the whole grain resides. None of that goodness remains in white flour—but you can have it all, by making your own fresh, better-tasting flour from whole grains with a fast, convenient, modern grain mill in your home kitchen. You'll wonder what you ever saw in "styro bread"!

Hard Red Wheat, Organic, SuperPail

Our hard red spring wheat berries are certified organic and ideal for bread making. Breads made with hard red and hard white wheats will be very similar; the main difference is that red wheat produces a fuller, heartier flavor, and the bread will have a slightly darker color. Red wheat kernels are reddish-brown in color. Our current lot of organic hard red wheat has a protein content of 13.2%.

Ideal for baking: Our grain is triple-cleaned. It's also been tested, in the most meaningful way possible—by baking bread with it. You can depend on hard red wheat from Pleasant Hill Grain to make bread and other baked goods that rise well, taste wonderful, and are packed with wholesome, natural nutrition! For those who may want to sprout some, our red wheat berries are sproutable. Sprouting results may vary.

In whole-grain foods, the plant's cellular walls protect nutrients from oxidation. The process of oxidation begins to occur as soon as grain is ground, exposing the cell's contents to oxygen in the air. Flour that is several days (or more) old, has been exposed to oxygen that inevitably diminishes its nutritional value. The way to get full nutrition from whole grain foods is to mill them when you need them, right in your kitchen. Modern high-speed grain mills make it fast and easy to enjoy the freshest, best tasting and most nutritious food imaginable!

Our hard red wheat is certified organic and non-GMO, and comes in six-gallon buckets (or pails... another name for the same container.) The net (contents) weight of the grain is 43 lbs. When you store grain at home, it needs to be protected in a couple of ways. First, it needs to be protected from a variety of little critters who'd like to get to it before you do. Weevils, for example. And isn't this interesting: Chances are you've never seen weevils in the white bread or crackers you bought from the store. That's because weevils put no stock in media campaigns from white-flour milling conglomerates; rather, they know what's good for them, and they'd come after your grain from miles around if you let them. And mice have good nutritional judgment, too. Not that there's ever been a mouse in your house, but if there was... you wouldn't want it having access to your grain. Secondly, grain needs to be kept dry. The grain we sell is all dried to a very low moisture level that's optimal for storage and baking and guarantees that you get the most grain for your money. You need to protect your grain from picking up excessive additional moisture, which can be drawn from the atmosphere. The buckets our grain comes in provide full protection against storage risks. They have airtight gasket-sealed lids, Mylar liners, and oxygen absorber packets that remove the oxygen from the air in the bucket after we put the lid on. The O2 absorbers leave an atmosphere of nitrogen in the bucket, because air consists almost entirely of oxygen and nitrogen. (The oxygen absorber packets themselves are completely food-safe, being made of powdered iron and salt, which are kept separate from the product itself.) Our buckets safely lock out pests, and biological processes are put "on hold" in the Mylar protected, oxygen-free nitrogen atmosphere, so your grain enjoys complete peace and quiet until you want to use it, even if that’s ten or twenty years from now. Note: If you don't already have a bucket lid removal tool, they make lid removal easy (see lower section of this Web page). Super Pail packaging is the "gold standard," the ultimate protection for your grain!

All of our grain is triple-cleaned (also called "triple washed") to ensure purity and protect your grain mill from any foreign objects. (Grain that isn't sufficiently cleaned may contain small stones that will damage or destroy a grain mill... not to mention that you don't want such things in your food!)

Our organic hard red wheat has a shelf life of 10+ years when unopened and stored in a cool, dark, dry environment.

All of Pleasant Hill Grain's whole grain products are natural (non-GMO). This applies equally to both the Organic and the Conventional (Non-Organic) grain.

Red wheat (triticum aestivum) is a gluten-containing grain that’s very similar to white wheat, but has a more robust, nutty flavor. To sweeten the slightly bitter taste of red wheat, honey may be used in a bread recipe. There are three different kinds of red wheat: hard red winter wheat, hard red spring wheat, and soft red winter wheat. The wheat for sale on this page is organic hard red spring wheat. Red wheat is so named because of the color of its bran, which has a reddish hue. Spring wheat is planted in the spring and harvested in late fall/early winter.

Red wheat is a hybrid grain, which means that older varieties of wheat with qualities such as disease resistance, weather tolerance, and high protein content, were crossed to produce a crop that has all the best qualities for bread baking and high yields. Red wheat was originally introduced to the Great Plains in the 1870s by immigrants from Russia. Today, the majority of wheat grown worldwide is hard red wheat.

Hard wheat has a higher protein content than soft wheat, and more protein translates to stronger gluten development in baked goods. This means that hard wheat is the best variety of wheat for making bread, pasta and pizza dough with. Soft wheat is ideal for cookies and pastries.

Hard red wheat can be ground into flour, flaked (rolled), or cooked and eaten as a side dish similar to rice. Red wheat is high in iron, protein, and fiber. It’s a versatile, delicious, and nutritious choice for everyday baking!

To cook hard red wheat, it’s best to soak the grain overnight. Soaking the grain will ease digestion, make the grain’s nutrients easier to absorb, and shorten the cooking time. To cook, add the whole or cracked, pre-soaked red wheat berries to boiling water (2.5 parts water to 1 part grain) for 45 minutes to an hour. The cooked wheat can be used to make grain salads, or to put into casseroles or soups.

If you’re transitioning from white bread to whole wheat bread, we recommend you begin baking with half white flour and half whole wheat flour, and increasing the percentage of whole wheat flour over time. This should make the adjustment easier, especially for children. If you’re unsure whether red or white wheat would be better, we suggest getting a sample of each to find out which you enjoy the flavor of better. Grain samples can be purchased here.

Hard Red Wheat, SuperPail

Our conventional/non-organic hard red winter wheat is ideal for bread making. Breads made with hard red and hard white wheats will be very similar; the main difference is that red wheat produces a fuller, heartier flavor, and the bread will have a slightly darker color.

This hard white spring wheat is certified organic and ideal for bread making. Breads made with hard red and hard white wheats will be very similar; the main difference is that red wheat produces a fuller, heartier flavor, and the bread will have a slightly darker color. If you're just starting out with whole grain baking and don't know how to pick, we suggest starting with hard white wheat berries. Note: Don't confuse "whole grain white wheat" with store-bought "white flour"! White wheat kernels are actually light brown in color. Store-bought white flour, on the other hand, is essentially nothing more than the endosperm (energy-producing carbohydrate) part of the kernel, with nearly everything nutritious removed in the interest of indefinite after-milling shelf life... which benefits huge commercial millers, at the expense of your health and the character of your food.

White wheat (triticum aestivum) is a gluten-containing grain that’s very similar to red wheat, but has a sweeter, milder flavor and lighter color. There are two kinds of hard white wheat: winter wheat, and spring wheat. The wheat for sale on this page is organic hard white spring wheat. Spring wheat is planted in the spring and harvested in late fall/early winter.

When you store grain at home, it needs to be protected in a couple of ways. First, it needs to be protected from a variety of little critters who'd like to get to it before you do. Weevils, for example. And isn't this interesting: Chances are you've never seen weevils in the white bread or crackers you bought from the store. That's because weevils put no stock in media campaigns from white-flour milling conglomerates; rather, they know what's good for them, and they'd come after your grain from miles around if you let them. And mice have good nutritional judgment, too. Not that there's ever been a mouse in your house, but if there was... you wouldn't want it having access to your grain. Secondly, grain needs to be kept dry. The grain we sell is all dried to a very low moisture level that's optimal for storage and baking and guarantees that you get the most grain for your money. You need to protect your grain from picking up excessive additional moisture, which can be drawn from the atmosphere. The buckets our grain comes in provide full protection against storage risks. They have airtight gasket-sealed lids, Mylar liners, and oxygen absorber packets that remove the oxygen from the air in the bucket after we put the lid on. The O2 absorbers leave an atmosphere of nitrogen in the bucket, because air consists almost entirely of oxygen and nitrogen. (The oxygen absorber packets themselves are completely food-safe, being made of powdered iron and salt, which are kept separate from the product itself.) Our buckets safely lock out pests, and biological processes are put "on hold" in the Mylar protected, oxygen-free nitrogen atmosphere, so your grain enjoys complete peace and quiet until you want to use it. Note: If you don't already have a bucket lid removal tool, they make lid removal easy (see lower section of this Web page). Super Pail packaging is the "gold standard," the ultimate protection for your grain!

All of our grain is triple-cleaned (also called "triple washed") to ensure purity and protect your grain mill from any foreign objects. (Grain that isn't sufficiently cleaned may contain small stones that will damage or destroy a grain mill... not to mention that you don't want such things in your food!)

Our hard white wheat has a shelf life of 10+ years when unopened and stored in a cool, dark, dry environment.

All of Pleasant Hill Grain's whole grain products are natural (non-GMO). This applies equally to both the Organic and the Conventional (Non-Organic) grain. Also, PHG does not sell any grains, beans, lentils, pulses or seeds sourced from China.

White wheat (triticum aestivum) is a gluten-containing grain that’s very similar to red wheat, but has a sweeter, milder flavor and lighter color. There are two kinds of white wheat: hard white winter wheat, and soft white spring wheat. The wheat for sale on this page is hard white winter wheat.

White wheat is a hybrid grain, which means that older varieties of wheat with qualities such as disease resistance, weather tolerance, and high protein content, were crossed to produce a crop that has all the best qualities for bread baking and high yields.

Hard wheat has a higher protein content than soft wheat, and more protein translates to stronger gluten development in baked goods. This means that hard wheat is the best variety of wheat for making bread, pasta and pizza dough with. Soft wheat is ideal for cookies and pastries.

Hard winter wheat’s protein content typically ranges between 10-12%. Hard winter wheat grows predominately in the southwestern and mid-western prairie states whereas hard spring wheat will grow best in the Dakotas, Minnesota, and Montana.

Hard white wheat can be ground into flour, flaked (rolled), or cooked and eaten as a side dish similar to rice. White wheat is high in iron, protein, and fiber. It’s a versatile, delicious, and nutritious choice for everyday baking!

To cook hard white wheat, it’s best to soak the grain overnight. Soaking the grain will ease digestion, make the grain’s nutrients easier to absorb, and shorten the cooking time. To cook, add the whole or cracked, pre-soaked white wheat berries to boiling water (2.5 parts water to 1 part grain) for 45 minutes to an hour. The cooked wheat can be used to make grain salads, or to put into casseroles or soups.

If you’re transitioning from white bread to whole wheat bread, using white wheat is an ideal wheat to start with because of its mild flavor, and white color. We recommend you begin baking with half white flour and half whole wheat flour, and increasing the percentage of whole wheat flour over time. This should make the adjustment easier, especially for children. If you’re unsure whether red or white wheat would be better, we suggest getting a sample of each to find out which you enjoy the flavor of better. Grain samples can be purchased here.

Grinder
By Lisa R. in TX on 10/31/2016 Verified Buyer

Well this is the first grinder I've ever used. It is well made, solid. It does a fine job. It's giving me a bit of a work out but I need it so... . I spent a long time reading and looking into this and I am very pleased with the results and the price. I think it will be with us for a very long time. It did take a while to get around to trying it but I love it. Would recommend it to anyone looking into buying one.

Not good for grinding corn
By William C. in AL on 8/23/2019 Verified Buyer

I purchased your grinder to primarily to grind cornmeal. If you tighten it enough to make cornmeal without hard pieces being in it, it is very hard to turn. Then you have to grind it twice to get it usable. You show a little girl turning the handle in your commercials grinding wheat and having no problem at all. I don't need it for wheat. I've looked at your recommended videos to learn operation. those videos are from 4 to 8 years old. The machine I have has been altered since then. Also the owners manual is printed about the same time as the videos. I would not buy again. Very disappointed.

Well Made and Does the Trick
By Glenda R. in MI on 11/15/2016 Verified Buyer

I purchased the Wonder Junior for the purpose of grinding spouted grains. The process works well and does give a little physical workout as a bonus. I've used the metal burrs for grinding the sprouted grains, but I intend to try the stones as I believe the cranking will be easier for this old man. We'll see how it goes. The sprouted wheat cranberry nut bread has exceptional flavor and texture. Love it.

Works Well
By Abigail on 3/03/2020 Verified Buyer

The grinder works very well. I like that we can continue to regrind our grain until we get the desired course. It would be nice if there were some way to achieve the exact same settings each time instead of having to guess every time as to how close to have the grinding stones.

So Far so good
By Brian K. in VA on 7/03/2020 Verified Buyer

THis mill has already gone through 6 cups of grains and we just got it today. I am looking forward to many option in the future. One tip it is quite a workout and make sure you have a stable surface to mount it. I may be back for the drill bit attachment. I will follow up after a few months of use.

Steel Burr construction poorly designed and implemented.
By Deborah M. in WA on 1/26/2020 Verified Buyer

The Steel burr could not be centered when bolting onto the Mill which lead to binding on each revolution of the arm crank. When laying it on its side, so that I could look down through the mill, I noticed that the backing looked like it had shifted, so we unbolted it and found that the backing had completely come detached from the burr. It was attached with three small pieces of what looks like tape and there was glue of some sort that was supposed to adhere to the tape. This was a brand new machine and all of this happened within 10 minutes of putting it together. Might have been a lemon, but with that design, the burrs will keep needing to be replaced, and a 10 minute life span makes it darned expensive.

Moderator : Such a failure is exceptionally rare for the Wonder Junior mill but manufacturing defects do happen with any type of product, and we're sorry that you received a defective unit. In keeping with your desire to return the mill, we have emailed you a prepaid return shipping label. Thank you for your review. 
While this mill clearly was not assembled correctly, the long experience that both we and our customers have had with the Wonder Junior have demonstrated that its design is excellent.

At 66 years of age I find myself trying new ways to make healthier bread
By Elaine M F. in LA on 5/14/2017 Verified Buyer

This is the first grain mill I have ever used. It had great reviews and has lived up to them. The day I got it I made sprouted wheat bread and cashew butter. I used the drill adapter and found that it really is a time saver for making the nut butter. I'm so glad I decided to get the masa/nut butter auger. I have used my Ninja for the last time for that task! I'd like to thank the sweet lady that helped me through the decision making process. You gave me all the right information!!! I see a future filled with healthy bread and nut butters..and who knows I might even give that tamale recipe a try.

Absolutely excellent, no complaints
By Sarah H. in MO on 7/09/2017 Verified Buyer

I bought this as a gift for my husband and he loves it. We've ground red and white wheat, sprouted wheat, peanut butter, dehydrated eggs, almond butter, and brown rice so far and it's ridiculously easy. Takes a bit of muscle for the finer flours, but so very worth it. The stone and steel grinding stones clean easy and install easier. I cannot recommend this grain mill enough.
