KoMo XL Grain Mill

The KoMo XL grain mill might be thought of as a supersized version of the very popular KoMo Classic mill. It combines the Classic's attractive construction of solid native beechwood and fingerjointed corners with an even more powerful motor. Cabinet size is also a little larger.
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 are designed for particularly aggressive grain feeding and with its high strength 600 watt motor, this mill produces 12 ounces per minute for bread flour texture. The large solid beechwood hopper holds 2 lb., 10 oz. of grain. 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 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.
Cleaning the Mill
As with all KoMo grinders, cleanup of the Fidibus XL 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.
Optional interchangeable inserts
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.

12 Year Warranty
The KoMo XL grinder is warranted for 12 years of home use. 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. For a similar grain mill with a warranty covering commercial use, see the KoMo XL Plus grain mill.

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.

I've been grinding flour to make bread for over 30 years. Recently my old electric French mill which had served me well finally quit. After reading extensively about new electric mill options, I chose the KoMo XL. After several weeks of use I'm extremely pleased. The KoMo is extremely simple to operate and maintain. I'm amazed by how fine it will grind flour. My old French stone mill would not grind nearly as fine as the KoMo. The customer service from Pleasant Hill Grain was excellent.
Started with the old stone Magic Mill over forty-five years ago and moved into the XL five years ago. Much tidier package and output is good too. User's manual is a bit incomplete... After adjusting the stone faces of a cold mill for finely ground flour, if more than two cups of grain are being ground, it is important to re-adjust the stones every two cups of grain until the mill comes fully up to its operating temperature or until you finish that batch of grinding. Ours usually requires no more than two additional adjustments after the initial one. Expansion from the heat of the grinding process will otherwise cause the stones to progressively rub harder and harder against each other. Since the five years we've had ours, KoMo may have this update in their manual by now...
I regularly inspect the stone faces and their grinding cavities. Over the five years there appears to be NO deterioration or breakdown of either the grit or its binder media.
The mill appears to be a collection of improvements on most all the great features of the old Magic Mill and I really like the quality of workmanship that is evident in its appearance on our counter-top.
Excellent design. Performs well. Easy to maintain. The only downside is that it heats the flour somewhat an unavoidable side effect of a small wheel running at high rotation.
I love my grain mill. I love that I can change it from course to fine. I grind my white wheat right into my bread bowl. It makes the best bread ever. I have been making all my own bread for my family for 37 years and this is the best. We are even going to raise our own wheat this year now that I have this grain mill.
I purchased this awesome mill for home use and to tell the truth it is the best purchase I have ever made.
This mill replaced one with plastic parts and a mechanism that 'exploded' the grain rather than ground it. I am so happy with this machine, which I've had over a year and used frequently. I recommend it highly!
What a beautifully functioning tool! It looks, feels, & sounds authentic!
I've been grinding whole grains for the past 27 years. After my trusty Magic Mill finally gave up, we purchased a Nutrimill… definitely a step up from the Magic Mill. But after my 23 year old, bread baking daughter just moved and took the Nutrimill, I needed a grain mill. After much research, I decided on the KoMo XL Grain Mill. I am so happy with my decision!
I love looking at this quality mill sitting on my counter as it is ready to provide me with nutritious whole goodness at a moments notice! When you turn it on, it gives a wonderful hum, nothing like the 'shrill jet airplane' sound of my previous mills. The volume increases when the grain is added to the hopper, but the lid helps to muffle the coarse grinding sound. My son was delighted that you can have a conversation standing right next to the mill as it’s grinding!
I often grind fine pastry flour for quick recipes and this mill is so convenient with the flour dispensing right into your bowl. The four texture is just as fine and fluffy as my past mills with the added option of grinding extra coarse. It’s easy-cleaning, too... no more taking apart the flour dispenser, brushing off all the parts, shaking out the filter, dumping the flour cup, and reassembling like my mills of the past. The speed of grinding is plenty fast, with very little flour dust in the air making it much cleaner than my previous mills.
A very special mill!
It works wonderful, but cant work for a full hour without cooling down.
An absolutely stunning and stunningly beautiful machine.
Very quiet and strong.
