Clearance: KoMo XL Plus Grain Mill
This is an R1 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”.

KoMo's Fidibus XL Plus mill offers all the features and performance of the standard XL mill, and adds a "super duty" commercial-rated motor. This means the XL Plus can be operated non-stop for extended periods, even hours at a time, and commercial use is covered under warranty for two years. The XL Plus consumes no more power than the standard XL, so operation remains very economical.
Power & capacity
Handmade in Austria, all KoMo mills are equipped with specially developed electric motors that provide reliable and efficient, yet extremely quiet power. The grinding burrs of the XL Plus are designed for particularly aggressive grain feeding and with its high strength 600 watt motor, this mill produces 10-11 ounces per minute for bread flour texture.
The large solid beechwood hopper holds 2 lb., 10 oz. of grain, and the XL Plus can run continuously so you can refill and keep grinding for whatever quantity of flour you need. The texture of the grind is continuously adjustable from super fine flour to coarse meal and cracked grain, simply by turning the hopper bowl to align its index mark with the graphic scale on the front of the mill.
All dry grains can be ground, 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 XL Plus 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 Cleanup
As with all KoMo grinders, cleanup of the Fidibus XL Plus is minimal and easy, and full access to the milling stones takes just ten seconds without tools. A sealed wooden lid keeps everything clean between uses.
The excellence of engineering and construction that goes into every KoMo mill means that your mill can
be expected to last a lifetime in normal use. Only the finest materials are used to make KoMo grain mills.
If you prepare food for someone with a food allergy, see KoMo's optional interchangeable insert system. This ingenious solution lets you grind different types of grain in the same mill while keeping food types completely separate.
Warranty
The KoMo XL Plus grinder is warranted for 2 years of commercial use, or 12 years of home use.

WHOLE GRAIN NUTRITION: HARVEST THE BENEFITS!
Imagine that for years, your children ate mainly candy. Imagine that you did, too. Imagine an entire nation on a candy diet. Imagine the health consequences.
Natural whole grains contain a myriad of health-essential nutrients, from proteins to vitamins and amino
acids. But "white flour" consists only of the starchy endosperm of the wheat kernel. In its natural form
the endosperm provides wholesome energy, but it's the least nutrient-rich part of the grain. Removed
are the nutrient-packed bran, wheat germ, and wheat germ oil. Then to make it extra white, industrial
processors go further, chemically bleaching it, and returning just enough of a few vitamins to stave
off beriberi and rickets. They're allowed to call the end product "Enriched Flour" but a truthful label
would read "Impoverished Flour." This snow white, denutritionalized substance is a commodity worth billions
of dollars annually to its merchandisers because of a commercially useful trait: Unlimited shelf life.
No matter how long it sits in the mass distribution channel, it can't go bad precisely because there's
actually nothing left in it that can go bad. Nutritionally, it's bad when bagged. A few companies have
grown enormously rich marketing this pseudo-food on the basis of convenience, ease, and its dazzling
white appearance. But a blind eye was turned to the consequences of replacing real whole grain flour
with something that looks special, yet is virtually devoid of nutrition. In essence, candy. So widely
has this nutritional travesty become accepted that we call it—and think of it as—wheat flour. But to
depart further from natural grain flour would scarcely be possible. Then to make matters worse, artificial
sweeteners, flavors and colors, appetite stimulants and preservatives are added to many of our foods.
"Artificial" tells you those things aren't naturally food. But have you ever wondered
what they actually
are
,
then
? Did you know some of them are actually petroleum derivatives? And what unintended side effects might
those complex counterfeit compounds have on us?
The human body is an absolute marvel; scientists have a long way to go to understand a tenth of how we work. But as capable and as resilient as our bodies are, common sense and history teach that we need wholesome, nutritious food to remain healthy and strong. The denatured byproducts being mass marketed today don't provide what we need, because they've been profoundly altered by processes in which real nutrition is considered last, or not at all.
There's a great solution to this problem. By grinding grains in your kitchen and using the whole grain
flour while it's fresh, you get the nutrition needed for strength and health. You also get far tastier
food, with genuine character—incomparably more satisfying than today's mass marketed pretenders. After
transitioning to whole grains, putting out a plate of white styro-bread will elicit comments like "Why
are you giving us
this
... and where's the
good stuff
?". Even flour labeled as "whole grain" in stores falls far short of what you can easily grind yourself,
because unless it's ground while you wait, the essential Vitamin E in true whole grain flour would go
rancid in days (meaning that it's probably been removed), and all nutrients begin steadily oxidizing-away
from exposure to oxygen as soon as grain is milled. What's in those bags is
not
whole grain flour if it's been sitting on a shelf for even a few days; that's literally impossible.
Making real food is more than doable, it's downright fun with help from Pleasant Hill Grain! A grain mill is the place to start. And to make whole grain bread quickly, easily and with consistently wonderful results, nothing beats a quality stand mixer that's capable of mixing and kneading bread that's ready to pop in the oven—quickly and without hand kneading. These machines make it easy to turn the corner to a far better and more enjoyable way of eating!
KoMo Protects and Restores Forests
Beautiful and strong, wood is one of the most renewable raw materials on our planet, and is far longer-lasting than any kind of plastic. Did you know that choosing a KoMo mill helps preserve not only beech forests, but also the habitat for woodland creatures like this juvenile Stone Marten?
PEFC is the world's largest forest certification organization, protecting more than 750 million acres of forest lands. The global work of PEFC helps ensure that our forests are managed sustainably, and KoMo mills are the only grain mills in the world that meet the sustainability standards of this important certification.

My XL Plus stopped working about two months after I bought it. It was, however, under warranty, and Pleasant Hill Grains happily replaced the motor for free. It has worked without incident for several years of regular use since then. The hopper is too small for a mill that is supposed to be for commercial use: I devised a work-around by cutting out the bottom of a Sterilite plastic bucket and inserting it in the hopper. The lid fits well atop the hopper extension, dampening the noise, and the hopper now has at least triple the capacity of the one that came with the mill.
I have been grinding my own wheat and baking bread for 25 years. My old Kitchen Mill finally gave out and I started doing research because I knew that replacing my old mill was going to be expensive. Bread baking is not a hobby for me--it is part of life and living healthy. After doing my research, I decided to buy a KoMo mill because of their reputation and consumer feedback. I chose the KoMo XL Plus is because it is designed for bakeries. This mill can grind wheat NON-STOP which is what I do. I grind 20 or more pounds at a time, then pre-measure the amount I need for each bread batch, and freeze each one in freezer bags. Once this is done, I take what I need out of my freezer, warm to room temperature, and bake. I love this mill! It is so much quieter than my old Kitchen Mill and grinds the wheat to perfection. I am so happy with my purchase and highly recommend this mill and any other products made by KoMo. You will not be disappointed! Pleasant Hill is a wonderful company, too. They provide so much help and information and that makes them my "go-to" online store. I am happy with all my purchases from them.
This mill replaces a NutriMill that we had for more than 10 years, but ultimately broke due to failure of the internal blades. We make 10-15 loaves of bread every week, so we need a mill that can process a lot of grain and is rated for lots of use. The KoMo XL plus seemed to fit the bill, and so far, has lived up to the expectation. It runs very well, and can produce fine flour or cracked grain very easily.
When I received my XL Plus I found up 50 pounds of corn with no problems. First I cracked the corn then ran through once more for very fine flour. Awesome machine. I believe this is a great investment.
Grinds wheat to very fine consistency. Works very quickly. No louder than any other mills I've had.
Was purchased in an effort to truly be self sustainable. Love this product. Sturdy and looks great! Easy to use as well.
After a nine month wait for this mill I am happy to report it is so easy to operate and works beautifully. The sifter attachment is also such a great tool!
We've been Hawos fans for years, but when our last Hawos gave up the ghost, we stepped up a level. Bigger, more power, and it does a great job. If you're serious about natural bread as we are, you can't go wrong with KoMo as far as we're concerned.
This mill works like a dream! We owned 2 other mills before this one and this one is far superior to either of them!! I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a grain mill! And pleasant hill grain has amazing customer service also!
I’ve had my grain mill for a few months and I absolutely love it. This machine is fast, quiet and efficient compared to other mills I’ve had.
Customer service was great to work with as well. I had a problem with the first grain mill that was sent. They worked with me in troubleshooting the problems. Turned out a piece was broken inside and they sent a new mill that very day.
Extremely satisfied customer!
