Family Grain Mill Flaker Head

$109.50

Family Grain Mill Flaker Head

The Flaker Mill head flakes soft grains and is popular for fresh homemade oatmeal, making a hearty flake from oat groats (oats with the hulls removed) that's thicker and chewier than store-bought flaked oats. Hopper is 6 x 3.5 inches (dia. x height).

Oats are a naturally soft grain and more of our customers roll oats than any other grain in their Family Grain Mill flaker—but many other grains including wheat, rye, barley and millet can be flaked too, with a little preparation. These grains are hard and brittle, and would normally shatter rather than crush. To soften them, hold them under running water briefly in a strainer. Then spread the grains on a cloth or towel to let them dry over night or for 3-4 hours. This time will vary depending on the grain used, but a little experimentation will help optimize the process. The softened grain will crush and flatten, rather than shattering. At the same time this contact with water starts an enzymatic process which makes it easier for you to assimilate the minerals in the grain.

This item is the flaking attachment only. Manual and electric drive bases are available separately.

This flaker also fits the WonderMix stand mixer, and with available adapters will fit the Bosch Universal, Bosch Compact, Bosch Styline, KitchenAid, Ankarsum/Electrolux and Viking.

This mill is manufactured by Messerschmidt in Germany, and has been marketed for years in the U.S. under the Family Grain Mill name.

With twenty years experience in customer service with Fortune 500 companies, I find positive and memorable customer service experiences almost non-existence these days. It’s refreshing to deal with a company like yours!

Sean Gerych, WV

Had our first batch this morning of your oats flaked with the Family Grain Mill, and it was wonderful! The taste and texture were better than any pre-rolled oats we've purchased in the past.

Randy Wattermann, NE

I can't thank you enough! You’ve gone way beyond customer service here, and I didn't even buy anything. I’ll be sending as much business your way as I can! You absolutely made my week.

Gayle, OR

I love Pleasant Hill Grain. Your people are very knowledgeable and courteous, your products are good quality, and your service is excellent. I'm a repeat customer several times and will be shopping with you again.

Janice Wagner, OH

I love my Family Grain Mill. It's great for a variety of purposes. I'm making lots of wonderful breakfast cereals, and I can make a beautiful cracked wheat for my bread. The FGM was well worth the investment and it's an excellent addition to my kitchen.

Leece Bean, OR

I have never before received such prompt service when ordering any item from a company. I placed my order late in the afternoon and had exactly what I ordered in my mailbox less than 48 hours later. It was a pleasure doing business with you.

Sue Belair, WI

This flaker is amazing. With the adapter for my Bosch Universal it ran smoothly and turned out oat groats crushed to resemble oatmeal but unlike store bought oatmeal these are fresh and bursting with nutrients.

Susan W., MN

We bought our flaker and grain grinder in 2004 and they have stood the test of time. Our daughter is now 22 and out on her own and requested her own flaker and grinder. Once you start flaking/grinding you can't go back. The flavor is just so superior.

Anne B., OR

I love Pleasant Hill Grain and my Family Grain Mill! Thank you both!

Accessories for this product:

Family Grain Mill Adapters

27 Reviews

These adapters connect the Family Grain Mill attachments onto the drive base of the Bosch Universal Plus, Bosch Universal Classic, Bosch Compact, Bosch Styline, Ankarsrum/Electrolux, KitchenAid, Viking, and NutriMill Artiste mixers.

If you want to use the FGM meat grinder and an adapter to fit onto the Bosch Universal Plus mixer, you will need to fashion your own block, 5" tall, to support the neck of the meat grinder, or else use one hand to support it while pushing meat down into the grinder throat, otherwise it would be tippy. Separate support isn't necessary for the grain grinder or flaker mills because the weight of grain in FGM hopper isn't sufficient to cause the assembly to tip.

If you want to use the FGM attachments and an adapter to fit onto the NutriMill Artiste mixer, you will need to fashion your own block, 4.5" tall, to support the neck of the attachment, otherwise the mixer would tip over.

The FGM grain mill, flaker and meat grinder are all available to fit directly onto KitchenAid mixers. KitchenAid mixers should be 325 watts or more to run FGM attachments on the mixer.

The FGM grain mill is now available to fit directly onto the Bosch Universal mixer, click here for that direct-fit grain mill. All of the Family Grain Mill attachments fit directly onto the WonderMix Revolution mixer.

Note: Using FGM attachments on your mixer may void your mixer's warranty. Please check your mixer's warranty statement to learn if use of attachments made by other companies is covered by your mixer's warranty.

Flaker is Amazing

By Susan W. in MN on 6/20/2018 Verified Buyer

This flaker is amazing. With the addition of the adapter for my Bosch Universal Plus it ran smoothly and turned out oat groats crushed to resemble what we all recognize as oatmeal but unlike store bought oatmeal these are fresh and bursting with nutrients. I sealed what I processed in a mason jar and used my vacuum sealer to keep as fresh as the day I processed them. Love this flaker and the Bosch adapter. Thank you for these great products!

Worth every penny

Great Flaker!

By Richard in Texas on 1/05/2018 Verified Buyer

I bought this on 1/9/2012 and it's been great, and functioned flawlessly. I started putting my Universal away in its cabinet, though, so I bought a FlicFloc manual flaker. It's definitely slower and if I have the Universal out I still definitely still use this fine accessory.

Works perfect for oats

By Ashley G. in OR on 3/20/2018 Verified Buyer

I've only used the flaker a few times so far, but it works great for oats. They are so tasty fresh milled! Easy to set up and use also.

Terrific little flaker, by hand or with electricity

By Metsa Suomalaiset on 3/16/2022 Verified Buyer

Nothing beats the flavor and texture of freshly flaked/flocked oats for baking, oatmeal, muesli, or other…and the classic “Jupiter system”/Family Grain Mill flaker head has been an economical and versatile solution for decades. We’ve made muesli at home forever, and the FGM flaker head works beautifully both with the hand-crank plate and the power base. It can’t flake the wide variety of grains that I could with my now-gone Eschenfelder…but I use the FGM flaker on rye with good results by lightly moistening the grains with a method close to PHG’s recommended one. I make a 7-day supply of muesli at a time, with flaked oats, rye, and barley, though admit I buy the barley flakes from a supplier in my region, not having been able to find a moistening method that produces the flake I like. When flaking say 4-8 cups of oats for weekly baking and muesli, I use a teaspoon to nudge the long pointy groats toward the throat of the flaking roller, as they have a tendency to logjam if the hopper is half full to full. But it’s a pleasant little task. I bought the adapter for the Bosch mixer but have never tried it with the flaker—the little Jupiter/FGM power base works so well.

Very happy.

By Christine F. in NY on 11/30/2019 Verified Buyer

I use the grain mill every week, for years. I always make our own bread. I added the flaker. Very nice. Easy to switch heads. I only grind enough for one meal. Great taste.

Didn’t disappoint!!

By Cbn on 8/11/2024 Verified Buyer

Like every product I’ve ordered from Pleasant Hill, this one didn’t disappoint. It’s very hard to find organic oat groats and I trust Pleasant Hill's product to be genuinely organic and of top quality. They are clean and tasty! I bought the flaker to go with my Family Grain Mill and I use my MockMill grinder to make perfect oat groats. Like all Pleasant Hill products, I highly recommend!!

works perfectly

By Jennifer on 5/04/2024 Verified Buyer

I grew some hulless oats last season and have used this flaker to roll them for oatmeal and it works exactly as advertised
