Family Grain Mill Combos

Motor Base Supply Note 

The original-style Family Grain Mill motor base has been discontinued by the U.S. importer. However, the  WonderMix Revolution Mixer is available, and is actually a superior alternative because it has more power and a lower price than the old motor base had. FGM components fit onto the WonderMix in exactly the same way as they did on the old motor base.

Artisan Bread Boule

The Family Grain Mill offers multi-grain milling and exceptional versatility. Its grind is infinitely adjustable, from fine for bread flour, to medium for "Cream Of Wheat" style cereals, or coarse for steel cut or cracked grain. It will also mill some chopped, dry, non-oily herbs and spices. The Family Grain Mill grinds cool to preserve nutrients, and has a large five cup hopper capacity.

The German-built Family Grain Mill is a modular system, giving you drive choices of electric power or available hand crank option. Any combo can be ordered from the drop-down menu at the top of this page, and the combo table (on this page, below) shows which components each combo includes. The hand crank base can also be purchased lower on this page.

In addition to the grain milling head, several other components expand the abilities of the FGM system. The Food Processor slices and shreds vegetables, nuts, fruits and cheese with interchangeable stainless steel drums. 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. You can see an interior image and more details on the flaker mill attachment here. The Food & Meat Grinder is available with a variety of disk sizes, to grind and mince almost any type of food you can think of.

Granola bars with freshly flaked oats

Use the electric or WonderMix base, or drive adapters that fit many leading stand mixers.

Processing components include flour mill, grain flaker, food processor and meat/food grinder. 

The Grain Mill head grinds soft or hard wheat, oat groats (dehulled oats), rice, triticale, kamut, spelt, dent (field) corn, dried sweet corn, split peas, buckwheat, barley, rye, millet, teff, quinoa, amaranth, sorghum, dry beans, lentils, chopped chestnuts, soybeans, flax, sesame, coffee, and some herbs and spices. It will also crack grain to any size—you can set the adjustment dial to any consistency from fine flour to meal to cereal grind or cracked grain. It isn't suitable for popcorn, tapioca pearls, or saw palmetto berries. To read more about millable materials, click here

The milling head's conical steel burrs work grain with a shearing action to avoid the "crushing friction" that creates the high heat common in many small grain mills—temperatures that can destroy many of the nutrients in your flour. And unlike stone burrs, steel burrs won't gum up or glaze. One cup of fine flour can be produced in just two minutes when hand operated, or less than a minute with the 900 watt electric WonderMix motor base. (It takes about 2/3 cup of wheat to make a cup of fine flour.)

Bundt cake

Because it doesn't grind with friction, the FGM's hand crank grain mill base turns easier than most hand operated mills. Overall time and effort are four times less than required by most hand mills, and most mills still won't produce flour as fine.

Manufactured in Germany, the Family Grain Mill is built with the durability to provide a lifetime of dependable use. Its body is made of super-tough ABS polymer, and its high-carbon stainless steel burrs are long lasting and easily replaceable. 

Family Grain Mill components remove quickly for cleaning. The grain mill head disassembles completely in five seconds, so it's quick and easy to have your mill ready for its next use. And where many mills create a cloud of flour dust to settle everywhere, the FGM operates dust-free. 

Motor Base

There is no longer any other power option besides the WonderMix base. The WonderMix base is both stronger and less expensive than the base that the Family Grain Mill people supplied previously, and it also has proven to be durable. So there’s really no drawback at all to using this motor base to power the Family Grain Mill accessories. If you purchase the WonderMix base, you don’t need to use it as your mixer. But if you did, you would find that it’s a very strong mixer (due in part to the way it transmits power from the motor to the bowl, not simply due to having high wattage). If you don’t want to use the WonderMix as a mixer, you could just stash the bowl and other accessories somewhere out of the way.

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.

Whole grain pancakes Natural whole grains contain a myriad of health-essential nutrients, from proteins to vitamins, essential amino acids, and crucial fiber. 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. And to make matters worse, artificial sweeteners, flavors and colors, appetite stimulants and preservatives are added to many of our foods, including numerous substances banned by other countries for their unhealthfulness. "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 harmful effects might these complex counterfeit compounds be having on us?

The human body is an absolute marvel; scientists have a long way to go to understand more than a small fraction 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. 

Homemade artisan whole grain breads 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 positively 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!

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

WonderMix Revolution Mixer

The WonderMix Revolution is an exciting new entry in the field of heavy duty stand mixers. Its German-engineered design has the strength to mix the heaviest batters and the versatility to perform the full range of tasks you need your primary food prep machine to handle.

The WonderMix Revolution is made by the manufacturer of the popular WonderMill electric grain mill. Its design is based on an existing successful German design, with upgrades to the motor and transmission. At 900 watts, the WonderMix Revolution now has the most power of any German mixer design. This power is connected by direct drive to the blender, providing extremely powerful blending results. The motor has three speeds as well as a pulse feature.

Connecting the motor’s 900 watts of power to the bowl drive is a drive train of exceptionally heavy duty gears in a sealed metal enclosure. Permanently lubricated, the gears are made of an advanced polymer material for extremely long life even under hard and steady use. The transmission is the Achilles heel of many mixers; in the WonderMix Revolution it’s a strong point.

The Tru-Mix dough hook mixes and kneads quickly and thoroughly. The mixing bowl’s 5.5 quart capacity allows you to mix dough for up to six 1.6-lb. loaves of bread (or less if you wish), and the Tru-Mix dough hook takes only about five minutes to completely knead even a full load of dough. The circulatory kneading of the WonderMix Revolution does an excellent job of developing gluten, so your dough will rise properly and your baked goods will have the light and uniform texture you want. A comfortable handle gives you a secure grip on the bowl, and the bowl locks positively on the mixer base. The dough divider works together with the Tru-Mix dough hook, creating a cross-action that mixes and kneads quickly and thoroughly.

Soft silicone feet provide a good grip on your counter, and combined with the proportions of the mixer bowl, let you mix and knead small or large batches without having the mixer “walk” on your countertop. The bowl’s center drive shaft separates from the bowl, making both shaft and bowl easy to clean up (and both are dishwasher safe.)

The WonderMix Revolution has no overhead gearbox, because it's powered from below—a design with several advantages. The wide base of the machine provides space to transmit motor power to the bowl using extra large, high strength gears. The gears in overhead-driven machines are small and prone to breaking, they transmit torque inefficiently, and the heat in their tight enclosure leads to early failure when worked hard. In contrast to top heavy overhead-drive machines, the bottom drive design gives the WonderMix a very low center of gravity that makes it very easy and comfortable to handle. Bottom drive also provides full bowl access. You see everything that's happening in the bowl, and adding ingredients is super easy.

The BPA-free bowl of the WonderMix Revolution is shaped like a large bundt cake form, a design that excels at both mixing and whipping. Twin whips mount on top of the narrow center column, driven from below, and they spin rapidly as they rotate. The bowl's shape ensures that your ingredients are mixed perfectly, as lumps can't escape the whisks. Whip as little as two egg whites or half a cup of cream!

Does your family cook gluten-free? The WonderMix Revolution provides the control you need to make delicious gluten-free recipes, tailored specifically to your family's needs. Nothing approaches the tastiness of homemade and fresh!

The deluxe package includes the mixing bowl with drive shaft, splash ring and lid, Tru-Mix dough hook, French whips, Turbo blender and the heavy batter whips. If you need a replacement of any of these items, see our .

Warranty: 1 year overall plus 3 years motor/transmission parts; lifetime mixer bowl, dough hook, drive shaft and blender bowl.

Pleasant Hill Grain is here to assist you, both before and after the sale. If you have questions about stand mixers or any other kitchen topic, please email us or give us a call—we’d love to visit with you. We would appreciate your business, and look forward to serving you!

The Grain Milling attachment for the Family Grain Mill grinds soft or hard wheat, oat groats (dehulled oats), rice, triticale, kamut, spelt, dent (field) corn, dried sweet corn, split peas, buckwheat, barley, rye, millet, teff, quinoa, amaranth, sorghum, dry beans, lentils, chopped chestnuts, soybeans, flax, sesame, coffee, and some herbs and spices.

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.

See an interior picture and more details on the Oat Flaker Mill attachment click here.

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.

Repl. Steel Burr Set

This two-piece steel burr set replaces the burrs in the Family Grain Mill.

These burrs also replace the burrs in the following mixer-attachment grain mills offered by Pleasant Hill Grain:

The original burr set that comes with each of these mills provides most users with several years' use, but it's easier to have the spares on hand than to order them later. Replaceability of burrs is one of several key advantages these grain mills have over the multitude of cheap throw-away mills on the market.

These are genuine OEM burrs, made by the original manufacturer. They're made of high carbon steel for long life, and they're manufactured to unusually close fit-tolerances for superior milling performance.

Family Grain Mill Adapters

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.

Grain Milling 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"!

Whole Grain Flour Power Book

Lounell Claybourn, with her daughter Marianne Claybourn, wrote “Whole Grain Flour Power: Sharing the secrets of baking with incredible flavorful, nutrient-packed, freshly milled flour". Their book is a comprehensive collection of customer favorites from over nine years of their successful farmers market business in Houston Texas. 

Whole Grain Flour Power offers an in-depth look at the wonder of wheat and the decline in world health linked to commercially milled flour. This 311-page cookbook includes tools, tips, and techniques for new and experienced bakers, and over 90 easy to follow recipes. You'll find a wide variety of recipes including sweet, savory, and simple breads, desserts, and a fun collection of tortillas, crackers, energy bars and more, all made with freshly milled flour. Full color photos beautifully showcase the end results.

Whole Grain Flour Power reflects a passion for the unmatched flavor and nutrients found in freshly milled whole grain flour. That passion was the motivating force for Lounell and Marianne as they poured their hearts into everything they baked for their farmer's market stand. Customers became “regulars” and then became friends. They held baking classes for those who wanted to learn the skills of milling and baking for themselves and witnessed a growing consciousness of the importance of healthy eating choices for their families. This cookbook began at their request, and it's become their passion now to share it with all “bakers by heart!”

Cookbook features:

  • Focus on Freshly Milled Flour: Emphasis on the importance of using freshly milled whole grains, used within three hours of milling, to retain maximum nutrients and flavors. 
  • Personable Directions: Enjoy the warm and inviting approach to baking, reflected by years of experience in running a successful farmers market baking business. 
  • Wide Variety of Recipes: From the popular Cranberry Walnut Bread to the savory Caramelized Onion Bread, these recipes cater to both sweet and savory palettes. 
  • Educational Content: Beyond recipes, the book includes educational sections on the wealth of nutrients in every grain of wheat, an interesting look at the history of commercial flours, and practical tips on home milling.

EDITORIAL REVIEW by Peter Reinhart 

"Whole Grain Flour Power, by the mother/daughter team of Lounell and Marianne Claybourn, is a book from the heart and one that will touch yours as well. It is dedicated to the principle that freshly milled whole grain flour is far more delicious and nutritious than commercially milled flour. The proof is in the pudding, as the saying goes, and their book is chock full of easy to make recipes and delicious-looking photos of the many products the Claybourn's have been selling successfully for years at local markets. Reading their story allows us to enter into a world that evokes wholesomeness and a yearning for both a nostalgic past as well as a hopeful future. It has been said that the future of bread can be found in its past, and the recipes and photos in this book transport our longings for that past into the present moment, evoking a renewed belief that, yes, this is what I want, what I've always wanted." — Peter Reinhart, author of The Bread Baker's Apprentice: Mastering the Art of Extraordinary Bread and Peter Reinhart's Whole Grain Breads

Good grain mill with lots of options
By Rochelle H. in IN on 2/11/2016 Verified Buyer

This is my second purchase of a Family Grain Mill. I bought the other one about 8 years ago, and replaced the burrs 3 times. I use it about 2-4 times per week. I like the flaker option, and have been making my own granola. I also like the hand-crank option, and have used it 4-5 times when we were camping, or when the power was out. It is easy to use, and not too tiring. The motor is a bit too loud, and I wish it had a finer grind, but overall, it is the best mill for my needs.

"Great for Gluten Free Baking, Tempeh & Soy Milk Making"

Since last week when my Family Grain Mill arrived, I have ground buckwheat and millet for baking gluten free bread. My family has had fresh homemade bread daily, prior to which, I had never baked a loaf of bread from scratch in my entire life (but I have made other baked goods)! My grade school child has been able to help me, which is a lot of fun! That's how light and easy it is to grind the grain with this mill! It's good The buckwheat and millet flour produced by the mill remains cool, and is wonderfully fine - the very first time it passes through the mill. No second passes are needed - yippee

Update: 4/17/20

Still using this product. Nice exercise if you choose to grind by hand, fun and educational as it is safe for kids to use (supervised) and easy to clean. I am still pleased with my purchase.

Quality shows

I'd rather spend a few dollars more the first time, than end up spending more in the long run and have to put up with a lot of problems along the way. The Family Grain mill I bought is a joy to use and makes great flour with no dust. Every mill I've been around makes a pretty good growling noise, that's just the grain being broken up into tiny bits. But this one is significantly quieter than others I've been around.

The FG mill is precisely manufactured, has proven to be tough, and it puts away easily. Plus I can replace the burrs when they eventually wear down. Not every mill allows you to do that.

Good Mill

I have used this mill mostly to make spelt flour (occasionally coffee beans). It works well; I can set it up and leave it to grind. It does get a bit covered in flour dust during use. It is SOOO easy to take apart and clean.

I love this grain mill!

This mill works great. I use it to grind wheat berries so that I can make bread at home. With the hand mill I can even make flour when there is a power outage. I haven't used the meat grinder yet, but I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Great quality. Great price.
By Lance H. in WI on 4/13/2016 Verified Buyer

We got the hand base combo that was available with the mill and flaker attachments as well as the adapter to use on our Kitchen Aid mixer. Works wonders. Tried with the hand base just to test and was fast and easy. We use on the Kitchen Aid normally.

Good choice
By Carrie M., MO on 2/21/2015 Verified Buyer

I bought the Family Grain Mill mostly for the flaker (and it's great for that) but making our own whole grain flour with the grinder attachment has turned out to be the most valuable part of the system for our family. The flour is perfect for bread making, our loaves rise high and the texture has been delightful.

Another nice plus is that the parts are very compact so they store super easy.

Love my mill

Enjoy milling my own flour. I've experimented with a variety of gluten free nuts and beans. Great product and very easy to use and clean.

Good Grain Mill
By Janine W. in KY on 4/15/2016 Verified Buyer

I have enjoyed grinding wheat berries with this mill. It has other attachments that increase its versatility in the kitchen. The only reason(s) I didn't give it an excellent rating are as follows. I was surprised at how flimsy the electrical cord is. Even though I haven't had a problem at all, the cord doesn't have a heavy duty quality to it, or a thick commercial type of covering in the event a knife falls on it (stored below the knife wall). The little marks indicating the fine- or coarseness of the grain are confusing. It is difficult to tell exactly what the degree of fineness will actually be. Also, the grain if I grind a lot warms up. While that hasn't been a problem for me, my subsequent research shows that is an issue for many serious bakers. I do not use it frequently. I am more of an occasional baker. All in all, I am happy with this mill.

Solid construction
By Lynn K. on 4/09/2019 Verified Buyer

We really like our grain mill but there are two things that could be improved upon. First is that to get the flour to the consistency we like we have to milk it twice through. The second is that the wood base is for a square edge and since our countertops are rounded the mill moves around a bit as we mill it. For the price and versatility of using it as a hand crank or hook it up to a motor is the main reason we went with this mill.
