 Beat my expectations by a mileJun 19, 2005
By salute_to_veterans
I researched grain mills for a long time, including European websites in German, where there is a much greater market for grain mills than in the USA. I wanted a better way to make flour than the vitamix, which although it makes very fine flour, has several drawbacks. Namely, it's very loud, the flour gets hot, and all of the grain won't make flour because some of it falls below the blender-type blades. The flour comes out with some whole grains, some broken bits, some course flour, and of course very fine flour, which has gotten quite hot. By sifting twice, with different sized sieves, I could tediously separate the bread-baking flour from the 'cream of wheat' bits and the larger pieces. I could get increasingly higher percentages of fine flour by leaving the grain in the vitamix for longer periods of time, but the flour gets hotter and hotter, and I don't want to lose the natural nutrition of the fresh grains. One of the biggest disadvantages is the lack of ability to grind less than about a cup and a fourth of grains, the minimum amount which has to be inside in order to get contact with the blades.
So I was looking for specific things a new grain mill had to accomplish. At first, I looked at the new generation of impact mills, which operate like the vitamix, except with the advantage of a screen, I presume, which lets the fine flour out while keeping the larger bits inside for more high speed bashing. Even though I don't like the sound of vacuum cleaners, disposals, and high speed equipment, I was almost ready to order one when I decided to look more closely at the stone grinders, even if only for the sake of doing my research thoroughly.
The European websites I viewed listed dozens of models of electric stone grinders. They even offer electric flakers [for homemade rolled oats, for your very own muesli!] as well as combi mills and flakers in the same unit. The point is, the Germans and Austrians must know a lot more about grain mills than I do, so I kept reading. And I admit, I still had some questions when I ordered the Wolfgang mill, but now I have the answers!
For starters, the wolfgang mill beats all my expectations. It makes extremely fine flour almost instantly. The motor is very substantial [it uses an industrial motor] and runs, I should say purrs, ever so quietly. When you put grain in the top, be sure to have a container ready. Instantly, fine flour is coming out, and I don't mean a dribble. The volume seams to double. The instructions tell you to turn it on, rotate the hopper to the left until you just hear the stones touch each other [sort of a chattering sound]. Back off to the right just a bit, and you have found the minimum clearance for the grinding. As the humidity, temperature, and use of the grinder will [theoretically] affect this clearance, you can always adjust it to make sure you're going to get the very finest flour imaginable [I made silky flour from spelt, kamut, barley, millet, and teff.] The barley corns were the noisiest, not unlike popcorn going off in a small container. Softer grains make almost no sound at all, just a sort of puff as they exit the hopper.
You can make a spoonful of flour if you want to. Everything is the exact same size. And the flour is cool. The mill is self-cleaning. There is a little sweeper brush that goes around, sweeping the flour out to the hopper. If you ever think the stones need cleaning [they are not really stones, it's ceramic and carborundum, much harder than stones], you can grind some rice or even take the hopper off and take out the top stone. [The bottom stone seams to be permanently attached, but it would be easy to clean even so.]
Now for the creme de la creme. I was going to also buy a flaker for making muesli, but I don't have to, because this mill makes the very best muesli I have ever tasted. [OK, I make my own yogurt, too.] I turned the hopper counterclockwise about 90 degrees, you can keep turning it for even larger bits, but this is where the oats come out as if they were 'slivered.' May not be the same as rolled [commercial rolled oats are steamed], but the taste, texture, and nutrition is way better. So far I have also made muesli out of spelt and millet mixed with oats [which I learned from the European websites] and I love it.
So I have been making my own bread since '75, and I never had it so good. I have 13 different grains for bread and muesli. Every batch is different. No recipes. I couldn't be happier. If there is a better mill than the wolfgang, I don't need it. This one gets used every day [stays on the counter] because right after dinner, I mix some grains for muesli, grind them on the 'muesli' setting, put them in a bowl, pour yogurt on top, cover the bowl w/ a salad plate, put it in the fridge, and then try to forget about the long wait until time for breakfast.

The best home grain millJun 16, 2008
By Forest7
To add to the excellent review by "salute to veterans" this Wolfgang mill is also known by a number of names, including the KoMo Fidibus Classic. You can find it on the Net by these terms and compare prices which vary.
As for the mill itself, it is comparatively quiet, very fast, and it self cleans. The ground flour flows into whatever container you place under the spout simplifying the cleaning process. There are no storage bins to brush out to avoid mixing one type of flour with another.
There is also no flour dust in the air, and the ground flour is much cooler than that from other mills.
Its only drawback is its inability to grind dried beans, but I found that a small Kitchen Aid coffee grinder can grind the beans into flour quite adequately without the Noise and Dust created by other mills which grind grain and beans.

WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE ABOUT THIS MILL??Sep 09, 2008
By Mona Lisa
"M.W."
Two months ago I was looking at the other reviews here beginning my search for a mill. Thanks to the kind lady that wrote the lengthy review. She is responsible for my proud ownership of the Wolfgang Flour Mill.
There are a lot of mills to choose from but as far as I could see, there were NONE that I would choose to display on my counter top.
I bit the bullet and got my credit card out. Boy am I glad I did! It's like a little piece of art in the kitchen.
I wanted something small and attractive that I could leave out, reliable, convenient, and something that wouldn't heat the grain too much. Yes, the Wolfgang is expensive compared to others, but how many of those "others" can you display in your kitchen.?
AND....#1. It is gorgeous! (The "dovetail" detail is the "icing") #2. It is quiet. #3. It's fast. #4. Grinds to perfection with minimal heat. #5. There is not one thing not to like about this mill and a lot to love.
This is a true case of "you get what you pay for." By the way, I got mine here: [...] [...]. Quite a savings over this sellers asking price!
UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2009:
Not only is "she" :) still going strong and we love the mill even more...EVERYONE that comes into our kitchen is completely impressed by it's beauty, as well as curious to what it is...and of course impressed that we grind our own grain!

Most likely the best mill on the market.Mar 30, 2009
By C. Crockett
"C.Crockett"
I bake bread several times a week and consequently use my Wolfgang mill frequently to grind hard white and red wheat, soft white wheat, aramanth, spelt, brown rice, etc. I have owned at least four different grinders which have all served this purpose. The Wolfgang mill, however, is a product superior to the all others that I have ever owned, seen, or examined (and I believe that I have examined them all). I would have seriously dished out five times its price to possess it. Not only does this mill perform consistently, reliably, (almost gracefully), but it is lovely to look upon and absolutely simple to use. What the other reviewers have written is all true: the adjustment mechanism is effortless; the grinder is self-cleaning; the stones (as opposed to blades) preserve the nutritional content of the grains being ground. It is incredibly speedy. In short, I love this grain mill so much that I have given it (with accompanying whole grains, of course) to several of my friends as a gift. It is a kitchen/baking appliance of excellence that I would certainly purchase again.

Incredible! Easy to use, great design, beautiful product!Sep 10, 2009
By javajunki
"javajunki"
Every once in awhile you come across a product that seems to have it all - simplicity, beautiful design, solid craftsmanship and does what it is supposed to do without a lot of drama. THIS is that product!
Also, a special "thanks" to the earlier review and "comments" section that provided a resource to a much more competitively priced seller. I purchased mine via the same and had only a pleasant experience plus happily saved a tidy sum!
Although we love the flavor and smell of fresh baked bread, traditional store flour always seemed to lack that extra flavor so we recently decided to take the plunge and begin to grind our own. After doing a lot of homework, I decided an eletric one would be something we were more inclined to use on a regular basis. The wondermill/whispermill seemed to have a lot of negative reviews on external websites and one large distributor that sells whole grains reported having so many complaints with the former company they did not recommend it. Also, I didn't like the fact it was not fully adjustable - essentially you get one choice...very fine. Because we also like to eat hot cereals in the morning, the ability to select various grinding settings was a very important consideration.
This product works beautifully and is pretty quiet...less noise than either or our juicers! Attractive enough to leave on the counter, it adds just a couple minutes to the entire process of making bread. It tackles nearly all grains with ease (no popcorn!) and we have put several through it already just to see how it performs.
Exceptionally pleased. Perfect for those that desire a simple way to grind their own grain on a regular basis without hassle, exertion or clean-up.
As a side note...absolutely could not believe the difference in flavor using freshly ground grain! Just replaced with same old recipe and aroma was notably different, taste was incredible. If you haven't yet made the switch - don't wait! Only regret was we didn't do this years ago!
