KitchenAid KGM 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 have an 8 qt commercial mixer. This mill works really well and has a very fine grind. I would purchase again and recommend to anyone wanting to buy one. It does take a little time to grind and a little noise. I do bake just not large quantities. Perfect for what I need it for.

Nice grinder, excellent for very fine ground flour from wheat berries.Some reviewers say it is loud and slow, I however have not experienced that. This grinder does a great job. It is easy to install on the Kitchenaid, breaks down and reassembles easily for cleaning.

I have had the mill almost a year now and wanted to give my opinion. Figure with a year of use I would know enough about it to provide a decent assessment for others looking into it.First and foremost, I do not believe this would be a good flour mill for bread/ pastries. However I knew this going in as that is not why I wanted it. I wanted something that was easier to crack grains or provide a course meal and for this use, it is a great mill. As others have pointed out it is slow, it is slower the more fine you have the adjustment. Even on the finest settings I would not want to make bread with it unless your goal is cornbread, then it works. I have a few other mills from a motorized Country Living that I purchased in 2007 and use ALL THE TIME, a Komo Classic (in beautiful dark Walnut vs the standard beech), and a wondermill Jr. I use the Country living and or the Komo for bread/ fine flours often. However the Country Living sucks to swap out for the corn/ bean auger more so when it is motorized.Thus when the kitchenaid went on sale for under $100 I bought it. I often crack dent corn or popcorn in it before running through other mills. I also use it for making bulgur for salads and several other course grain uses. But my favorite is what I used it for this morning. Hot breakfast cereal. I course crack the dent corn on the max setting. Then run the corn and everything else again at 2 settings finer than the middle setting (guess you would call it 8 out of 12 closer to the finest setting if that makes sense) to get what you see here. My favorite cereal blend is 0.5C each of dent corn, hulled barley, brown rice and Kamut. I cook 1C of this blend with 4C water a nice pinch of redmond salt, and a few tablespoons of coconut oil in my Le Creuset rice cooker (without the bubble plate). Bring it to a boil, stir (I use a wooden chopstick) cover and turn to the lowest your burner will go for 20 minutes. Top with whatever.Everyone in the family likes something different for toppings, honey/ maple syrup/ muddy pond, various spices, dried fruit, milk, nuts etc. I like mine with freeze dried apple dices, apple pie spice blend, and a drizzle of muddy pond sorghum syrup, which is what you see in my photo. And let me tell you, DANG is it great tasting, warms you up, makes the place smell amazing, and it will keep you full for a while even with moderate energy being burned doing what ever task like shoveling snow or whatever.The mill is easy to break down to clean when needed, I just store mine in a 2G gallon freezer bag and clean it every season, otherwise I just open the plates to the coarsest setting and shake whatever is remaining in the garbage, and wipe with a dry towel after each use. But once a season I tear it all the way down and clean it well and hit the grinder shaft end with a smear of food safe grease in the adjustment knob mating socket. You will see this the first time you tear it down from the factory.

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!
