KoMo Duett 100

nullA perfect all-around grain milling solution, the KoMo Duett provides both freshly ground flour and flaked grains. Its beautiful cabinet, constructed of solid beechwood and furniture grade beech veneer, contains separate motors that allow you to grind and flake simultaneously or independently. Included with the KoMo Duett is a handmade ceramic bowl with a cool, smooth surface that complements the mill's warm finish.

Flake and grind grain all in one unit 

The Austrian-made KoMo Duett lets you start the day with delicious fresh flakes in the morning, make fine flour at midday for an afternoon cake, and crush poppy seeds for both. It's offered in a choice of models, the Duett 100 and the Duett 200. The two share the same flaker, but on the grinder side the 200 model features an extra large motor for high speed flour output. The cabinets and hoppers of the two models are identical. 

Oats are a naturally soft grain and more of our customers roll oats than any other grain in their Duett—but many other grains including wheat, rye, barley and millet can be flaked too, with a little preparation. These grains are normally dry and hard. 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 at least 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 flatten nicely into flakes, similar to commercially available rolled oats. Contact with water also starts an enzymatic process that makes it easier for your metabolism to assimilate the minerals in the grain.

Whole Grain Nut Seed Bread

Capacity, Power & Versatility 

Capacity of the grinder hopper is 2 lb., 10 oz. The 360 watt motor of the Duett 100 produces 8-9 ounces per minute for bread flour texture, while the 600 watt motor of the Duett 200 turns out 10-11 ounces per minute. Both grinders have precisely fitted corundum-ceramic burrs and are adjustable to grind to any texture you choose, from exceedingly fine flour to coarse meal (or just cracked if you wish). All by simply rotating the hopper to align with your choice on the front texture setting scale. The flaker has a 6.4 oz. hopper and its 140 watt motor flakes 2.8 to 3.5 oz. of oats per minute. Flake thickness is adjustable from .3mm to .65mm. 

If you want the full range of capability from grinder to flaker, the KoMo Duett offers significant savings compared to buying a mill and a flaker separately. The grinder side will grind hard or soft 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 Duett 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.

Fresh Oatmeal with flaked oats

The Duett's flaker is perfect for rolling all softer grains like oat groats.

Easy Cleanup

As with all KoMo grinders, cleanup is minimal and easy and access to the milling chamber takes just a moment and requires no tools.

Choose from 110V or 230V models

The Duett 100 mill is available in the standard 110V version for use with U.S. electrical power, or a 230V version for use overseas. The 230V mills are equipped with a Euro plug. Selecting a model and clicking the specs tab will show more details about Duett mills.

Gluten Free Accessory

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.

Pleasant Hill Grain carries a wide range of whole grain products, including oat groats.

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. We'd be delighted to visit with you about a KoMo mill or any aspect of your milling needs. We'd appreciate your business, and we look forward to serving you in any way we can!

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!

KoMo Interchangeable Insert

KoMo's interchangeable inserts enable a single KoMo mill to grind different materials without cross contamination. The set includes replacement upper and lower milling stones as well as the silicone chamber liner (or "insert").

Using this accessory set, your KoMo mill can be used with gluten-containing products (wheat, for example) using the original stones and liner, then after switching stones and liner the same mill can grind a gluten-free product (rice, for example) without getting any gluten in the that flour. The accessory insert has a much longer spout, for easy identification.

The switching process takes only about a minute after the first couple of times. If you prepare food for people with special dietary needs, KoMo's interchangeable milling insert multiplies the value of your KoMo grinder.

Insert #1 fits 250 watt mills (Fidibus 21, Magic, Harvest 250, FidiFloc 21)

Insert #2 fits 360 & 400 watt mills (PK1, Classic, Medium, Harvest 360, Duett 100, FidiFloc Medium & Mio)

Artisan Baker's Gift Bundle

Are you ready to wow an aspiring artisan bread baker in your life? The Artisan Baker's Gift Bundle will start them on their journey!

The best way to measure ingredients for baking is to weight them, and the OXO Good Grips Scale weighs up to 11 pounds in ounces, pounds, kilograms and grams. A feature we especially appreciate is the pull-out digital display so we can read the weight even when we have a large bowl on the scale.

Proofing dough in the round rattan proofing basket made by Frieling, with a basket liner, is an easy way to create a boule for a truly artisan-style bread. Proofing bags (pack of 100) are an easy way to keep the dough humid while it's proofing, so it doesn't dry out.

Scoring is the technique of slashing the top of bread dough with a lame to allow the bread to open up while rising, as it bakes. The Mure & Peyrot Adour scoring lame is easy to use, and comes with a cover to keep the blade protected when not in use. We do offer replacement blades.

The German-made Haussler Star dough stencil is a unique tool that is sure to delight! The stencil impresses an attractive star-shaped design in bread rolls and buns. It's especially good for making Austrian Kaiser rolls.

Maldon sea salt flakes from the shores of the Blackwater Estuary in England are a gourmet way to finish artisan breads. We like to sprinkle Maldon flakes on focaccia bread, and chocolate chip cookies too!

Also included is our favorite 100% Whole Wheat Bread recipe printed on a thick, glossy recipe card!

Bread Baker's Gift Bundle

If you're looking for a thoughtful gift for the avid bread baker in your life (or an idea for your own wish list), this Bread Baker's Gift Bundle is sure to please! Curated by our expert baker, this package includes many of the essentials you need to make fresh bread from start to finish.

Start down the road to homemade sandwich bread well prepared. This Bread Baker's Gift Bundle includes NutriMill Vital Wheat Gluten, Grandma Eloise's Dough Enhancer, SAF Red Label Yeast, and RealSalt sea salt–four quality ingredients that are well-loved in our own kitchen and by our customers. We've also printed our favorite Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread recipe on a thick, glossy recipe card, to be used time and time again.

Dividing dough has come a long way since dental floss... the Divider/Scraper All Stainless makes it fast and easy to divide the whole batch of dough into individual loaf amounts. It also serves well to scrape the work surface clean of flour and dough.

Having a good loaf pan is an important, but sometimes overlooked detail. The Norpro Loaf Pan has a convenient 1/2" rim around its top edge to make handling the pan with bulky oven mitts easy. When greased, the highly polished stainless steel releases the loaf with ease.

When the CDN Pocket Thermometer reaches 200 degrees, you'll know that your bread is baked through and ready to remove from the oven. Since it's instant-read the bread won't cool down while waiting for the thermometer to reach temperature.

Once the bread is finished and ready to be enjoyed, it's great to have the Kuhn Rikon Colori Bread Knife on hand to cut the first slice, and the Butter Bell Raised White Floral filled with soft, spreadable butter! (Note: The bread knife that comes with this bundle is black, not red as shown in the group picture.)

Storing homemade bread is simple with the Large Bread Bags and they come in a pack of a hundred! Keep bread either on the counter, or in the fridge or freezer for longer storage.

This gift bundle is sure to impress and delight any home baker!

Gift wrapping not included.

Note: The dough enhancer in the photo is NutriMill brand, but it's been discontinued so we're including Grandma Eloise's brand dough enhancer in this bundle now.

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"!

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. Red wheat berries are reddish-brown in color.

Our bulk wheat is triple-cleaned. It's also been tested, in the most meaningful way possible: By baking bread with it. You can depend on wheat berries 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 hard red wheat is 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 comes in five-gallon buckets (or pails... another name for the same container). The net (contents) weight of the grain is 36 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. 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 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. Also, PHG does not sell any grains, beans, lentils, pulses or seeds sourced from China.

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 hard red winter wheat. Red wheat is so named because of the color of its bran, which has a reddish hue.

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 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 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 White Wheat, SuperPail

This conventional/non-organic hard white 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. If you're just starting out with whole grain baking and don't know how to pick, we suggest starting with hard white wheat. 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.

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 wheat from Pleasant Hill Grain to make bread and other baked goods that rise well, taste wonderful, and are packed with wholesome, natural nutrition!

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 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.

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!”

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

I would buy the KoMo Duett mill again and highly recommend it.
By Leslie R. in LA on 4/13/2016 Verified Buyer

I researched grain mills for months and agonized over this purchase because of the price. It is my first and hopefully the last mill I’ll ever need. I’ve had this mill for about a year and have no regrets. It does an excellent job of milling grains and flaking oats. I love that both functions offer a wide range of fine to coarse settings. Besides the high quality craftsmanship the other big selling feature to me is that it is so attractive that I don’t have to store it & pull it out every time I want to use it and I know this has led me to use it more frequently. Cleaning it is also very easy. The only problem I ran into was the top magnet holding the wooden front of the flaker came loose recently when I removed it to adjust the coarseness setting & the magnet would fall right into the flaker. Luckily the machine was always off when this happened. I tried to glue it back in, but that didn’t work because I think the magnet was so strong. The easy fix was to screw a thin metal faceplate across and over the top of the magnet.

Great, Easy to Use and Flexible Grain Mill
By Sondra O. in ME on 5/01/2016 Verified Buyer

I bought this mill to replace a 42 year old, yes that's how long I've been grinding my own flours, Marathon Uni-Mill! I dithered and stalled for months before I finally made this purchase. I only wish I had opted to do it sooner!! My old mill was locked into one setting and was on the verge of dying a slow death so I finally gave in and bought the KoMo Duett and have been having a great time grinding things I had not been able to grind for many years, i.e. , wheat, rice, garbanzo, rye, barley and bean flours to make all kinds of things. Love the multiple settings on the mill allowing such flexibility to grind big beans on one setting and put back through on a finer setting. Makes beautiful flours of all kinds of grains and beans. So happy I made the purchase. I would buy it again in a heart beat. You can't go wrong.

Komo Duett 200: It Does
By Paul in WA on 7/10/2018 Verified Buyer

I expected that the KoMo Duett would grind our wheat berries well, and it does. I expected it to flake the oat groats well, and it does. The grind is easily adjustable from coarsely cracked to fine flour. It's fast, and not terribly noisy (though not quiet). What really pleases me is that we no longer have to have a bin of flour for my bread making or a bag of oatmeal for baking or breakfast. Bins of different wheat berries and oat groats will last much longer and keep our kitchen much tidier. I can mix my hard red wheat berries and the hard white right into the hopper. Out of the Duett comes my bread flour. Our flour and oat meal will be fresher. An added benefit is that the Duett is a very handsome appliance, and cleanup after operation is minimal.

KoMo Duett Long term review: Attractive, functional, and economical
By Arthur P on 10/29/2019 Verified Buyer

After owning a KoMo Duett 100 mill, purchased from PHG, for five years, I thought it was time to write a review. The Duett 100 has been a wonderful addition to our kitchen. We have milled over 500 lbs of grain and flaked several hundreds pounds of oats and other grains. The mill performs flawlessly each and every time. As the millstones have begun to wear slightly it has become possible to mill flour finer than the when the mill was purchased. We use the mill for making "stone ground" texture flour, cornmeal, and the like, as well as very fine flour (that we sometimes sift) for sourdough, commercial yeast, and chemically leavened breads. We also use it for milling soybeans, chickpeas, and similar foodstuffs. The only tiny imperfection in the unit's design is the thickness adjustment on the flaker, which tends to get stuck in the "fein" (thin) position, and requires a pair of pliers to loosen. Even after 5 years, the attractive wood cabinetry of the unit garners compliments from visitors. I expect to get many decades of use out of this unit, and consider it to be an excellent buy.

KoMo Duett 200 works great!
By Sandy W. in CO on 8/14/2017 Verified Buyer

I am only beginning to explore freshly milled and flaked grains, but I can tell already they are much better than store bought flour and oatmeal. My bread, oatmeal and granola somehow feel more nourishing. This is my first mill and flaker but they have been very easy to use and are quite attractive on my counter. I was concerned that it might create a lot of dust, but that has not happened. Only a little from the flaker right around the bowl. The mill seems pretty loud, although I have nothing to compare it with. I just wear earplugs.

Love the Dual Purpose of the KoMo Duett Flaker and Mill
By Robert in MI on 5/02/2020 Verified Buyer

I have been using a KoMo Classic for milling hard and soft wheat berries for about a year. My wife purchased the KoMo FlicFloc Oat/Grain Flaker as a gift to roll oat groats. We quickly realized that flaking oats almost daily (family of 5) was becoming a chore. My family LOVES the flavor of freshly rolled oats. We decided to purchase the KoMo Duett Flaker and Mill and could not be more satisfied. My 80 year old mom can now roll her own oats in the powered flaker. I also upgraded to the Duett 200 model with the 600 w-3/4 HP motor. I bake 3-4 loaves of bread weekly and put about 3200 grams of berries a week through the mill. I do see a notable difference in milling time with the upgrade in motor. I purchased the KoMo Flour sifter accessory and use that now on my KoMo Classic.

Great service from Pleasant Hill Grain. Great product from KoMo. Worth the purchase if you have the need to mill and flake. You won't be disappointed.

Wonderful Flaker and Mill
By De O. on 4/14/2016 Verified Buyer

We love our mill. It allows us to be gluten free at a much lower cost. We use the flaker the most, pretty much daily. The mill is great to use with several drier grains. We even use a mix of 2:1 rice to oat goats in it and the flour is great.

Best Rolled Oats
By Erik D., SD on 4/13/2018 Verified Buyer

Actions speak louder than words: Every weekday morning I put 1/2 cup of oats in my KoMo Duett 100 and roll them for a delicious breakfast with dried blueberries and milk. Best rolled oats.
