KitchenAid KGM All Metal Grain Mill Attachment

I read many of the reviews before I purchased this grain mill. I decided to take a shot so I would at least know what to expect. It was definitely worth the price. As it turns out, I am very happy with this product. Some of the reviews said that the mill is not sturdy and in some occasions, it actually fell off. I will admit there is a learning curve here. I have the KitchenAid professional 5+ stand mixer, which I bought refurbished at least two decades ago. I wasn’t sure if it was up to the task.When I attached the mill the first time I felt it vibrating a little bit as I made my first batch of flour from wheat berries. I also noticed that the screw that holds the mill onto the mixer does loosen a bit while the machine is working, so I lend a hand, and tighten the screw as needed while the grain mill grinds the wheat berries. The directions are easy to follow, I didn’t have any problem with dust level, it’s very easy to use and easy to clean. As I removed the mill from the mixer, a tiny bit of flour and a few wheat berries, maybe a tablespoon full, fell out of the mill, other than that it was easy to use and worth every penny.

I would have given it a 5 star review but for a few issues with my old Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer. I worried since the mixer was so old it might not be compatable but it was! This was one of the reasons I was hesitant to order a mill for the kitchen aid but decided to give it a try. This worked well on my older model Kitchen Aid mixer. The weight of it was so heavy that it kind of sagged toward where the grinder was. I had to take off the bowl from the stand because the grain would wind up in front of it but it did not leave enough space below the older mixer design to place the bowl in front of it to catch the grain as it came through. I had to steady the mixer base while it ground the grains. I was happy that it worked and the fine grain seems good for baking. I have not had time to bake yet. I used a 24 oz bag of Kamut whole grain wheat to try it out. I fed the grinder in segments of about 2 cups at a time. It took a long time to get through the bag. It seemed a little louder than the normal mixer alone. It does not allow you to wash it in water. There was no smell to the actual grinder but the grain smelled very good that it produced. I know other people with Kitchen Aid Mixers and noticed theres had a different design than mine. I have a base that the metal bowl locks into.Thus, your experience may not be the same as mine. Again, I would give it 5 stars but for a few issues lining up an bowl to catch the grain and the weight of the grinder. I think it is a great value because of the quality of the grain it produces. I tried different levels too. I it has 12 levels of grain. Each level is different. It was very easy to set up and use.

I decided to jump into the world of baking with freshly milled nutritious grains for my family. Great affordable solution for milling wheat berries. I use it on the finest setting, and had 4 cups of flour in no time. Baked a beautiful loaf of freshly milled bread! Everyone loved it, and so much more healthy than store bought.

I have used this a few times and have mixed feelings on it. Does it do the job? Yes. It’s loud and is very slow in my opinion. It is easy to use . Cleaning is easy. It is loud. I willUse it for the time being and save upFor a nitrile or mock mill.

Got this for my daughter. She loves it and uses it all the time

If I could give zero stars I would.I am somebody who almost never leaves reviews just because I don’t have the time to put into them, but I wanted to post this warning for others.This mill attachment seemed like a great idea, with mostly a good reviews, but our KitchenAid has needed extensive work since we use this the one time. My husband already had to replace some parts after using this attachment and said that he feels the next time we use the milling attachment. The whole KitchenAid is going to die.We noticed with the first use that the machine was really slowing down and getting very hot so we had to turn it off for multiple breaks and all in all it took over an hour to mill 1 pound of wheat berries. We had to stop numerous times to avoid overheating.We have since missed the return window so now we are stuck with an attachment that we spent quite a bit of money on, and the machine that it is breaking and is going to cost us $400 to replace.Take it from me and just spend the extra money on a Nutra mill, or you’re going to end up spending that money to replace your KitchenAid mixer due to this attachment.

This works fantastic for milling whole grains. The amount of adjustability is perfect for our needs. We can get a variety of wheats and other grains locally and store for fresh milled whenever we want it. It even cracks corn. One of my favorite kitchen aid attachments.

I was a little hesitant buying this because an aftermarket product for the KitchenAid got really bad reviews. I must say I was pleasantly surprised at how well this grinds grains into flour. So far I've done Hard Red Spring Wheat Berries and it's faster than I expected and I only have to run it through once. Just fill the hopper, set the grind level to the finest setting and the mixer to the highest speed and then gather the remaining ingredients for your recipe. So far I've made pancakes and muffins and they were both SOOO much better than store bought garbage...
