KitchenAidKGM All Metal Grain Mill Attachment

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 recently purchased the KitchenAid All Metal Grain Grinder, and it’s been a fantastic addition to my kitchen. If you already own a KitchenAid stand mixer, this attachment is a must-have for anyone serious about making their own flour or grinding grains at home.The build quality is excellent—it’s made entirely of metal, so it feels incredibly sturdy and durable. I’ve used it to grind wheat, oats, and even corn, and it handles each task without any issues. The adjustable grind settings are a big plus, allowing you to customize the coarseness from cracked grains to ultra-fine flour, depending on your needs.I love the ability to grind fresh flour for my baking. There’s something really satisfying about knowing exactly what’s going into your bread or muffins, and the flavor is noticeably fresher compared to store-bought flour. It’s also great for experimenting with different grains and blends.Installation is easy, and cleanup is straightforward as well. For anyone who wants more control over their ingredients and enjoys baking or cooking with fresh grains, this is a great investment. Highly recommend it for home bakers and anyone looking to step up their kitchen game!

I have used this mill now several times to mill hard white wheat and hard red wheat; it has worked flawlessly in my Artisan 5-qt Kitchen Aid mixer. The flour that I have milled seems to be just as fine as the professionally milled flour, with slightly more variation in fineness, but perfect for baking.A few notes/advice for using:- The mixer will get warm when running, and can get quite hot if grinding from whole grain to finest setting; I ran mine in batches just to be safe. My Mixer is over 11-years old with the original gearing; I did repack the grease about 4 years ago. (Kitchen Aid Mill Attachment Manual says to not run more than 10 cups without letting the mixer rest for 45 mins).- I ran my batches in 5 cup intervals because I was running the same grain through twice to get better results. I highly recommend running the grain through at a course setting, and then running it through again at the fine setting. With this method at the most fine setting I got a consistency and fineness that is almost identical to professional milled flour. This also allows the mixer to run a little cooler and not work as hard.- It mills quicker than I expected, and is also much quieter than I anticipated. Some reviews stated it was very loud, though it is noisy (grinding hard grain), you can still carry on a conversation while standing at the mixer. I have also milled flour while the kids were sleeping upstairs and they did not even notice.Another great product from Kitchen Aid, highly recommend to anyone that wants to easily mill flour at home.

I bought my KitchenAid milling attachment eight years ago and have used it to grind many pounds of wheat berries into flour. If you bake with whole grains, you'll notice a big quality difference between freshly ground flour and what you buy in the store (presuming you start with decent wheat berries). The flavor of your bread, muffins, whatever, is superior, and when you bake yeast bread, you get better oven-spring with fresh flour. My only criticisms are that it takes a while to grind a pound of flour and the grind at the finest setting is not what I'd call extremely fine. Once the flour is ground, I always stir it well with a whisk to evenly distribute the bran.Bottom line, the resulting loaves of bread (etc.) have been delicious. If you have a KitchenAid, this is a great tool and less expensive than buying a dedicated grain mill.

Works great. A quick screw onto the front of my mixer, pour in the wheat berries, set it to fine and turn it on and let it go. Set a timer (about 20 min for 1 1/2 of berries) so you know when it's done (you'll have to play with it at first to find out how long exactly). LOVE home milled flour!!

I bought a new KitchenAid KGM All Metal Grain Mill Attachment that came with one cleaning brush. The cleaning brush needs replaced but I could not find the item online and fought with ai forever, held on the phone forever and was told they do not even sell the replacement brushs. All I need is a simple replacement brush and am told they are not available to buy. Scam? Do I need to buy another $150 mill to get a brush? The mill is great, brush is cheap, the service after is terrible. Kitchen aid used to be a trustworthy company but seems tied in with Whirlpool one of the worst for customer service and junk major appliances. Be careful when considering this grain mill.
