So, I thought I’d write a post showing off my new haircut styled by my twin sister Liz (I still can’t quite get it to look like that), and I figured, "hey, while I’m at it, I should show off the beginnings of a baby belly… "
So, my beloved wheat grinder of eleven years’ use, finally bit the dust. We’ve tried all kinds of cleaning up stuff to revive it, but no luck. We could order new parts, but wheat grinders have made all kinds of advances over the past several years, so we figure it’s time to invest in a new one. We are researching some interesting wheat grinders to replace it with.
These KoMos from Germany definitely win the design award:
Though I’ve not found any reviews that say anything other than that they look great. And they come with a price tag that says you’re paying for the design more than anything.
We think we’re thrilled with the versatility of the Retsel Mill-Rite:
It’s a company that’s been in the business for over 40 years, but you just don’t hear that much about. I have a friend with one, though, and she loves it, and there are some really great reviews out there by very loyal customers. With steel burrs it does everything from cracked corn to pastry-fine flour to flax seed and nut butters, wins the award for quiet and simple operation, and has a hand-crank for emergencies; though it’s got a hefty price tag at $480 (with steel burrs only and the hand crank– you can also get ceramic stones that are guaranteed to last 25 years). SO, I’m just curious: What wheat grinders do you all have? Why did you choose them? What do you love? What do you wish it did? I look forward to your feedback!
