This week on The Self Reliant Living Show we’re talking about grinding your own wheat.

Come join me as we continue our series on grain mills. Today we’re taking a close look at the Wondermill.

The Wondermill is made by the Wondermill company, which has been in business for over 20 years. They are the makers of the older Whispermill. They pride themselves on making one of the simplest mills on the market to operate.

The WonderMill is a an impact mill, which means that inside the mill there are two wheels, but only one turns to grind the wheat. The steel wheels fit so tightly together that running grain through them as one wheel turns crushes the grain into powder.

You can control the rate at which grain is feed through the mill. This will determine the fineness or coarseness of your flour. The WonderMill has 3 settings: pastry, bread and coarse.

You should never turn the WonderMill on with grain in the hopper. If you do this might cause the mill to clog up with flour.

Never turn off the WonderMill during grinding. If you do this might cause the mill to clog up with flour.

You can also purchase a small grain and bean adapter.

Small Grain Adapter

This allows you to grind smaller “grains” like tapioca, coarse salt, amaranth, quinoa and teff. Otherwise you could overwhelm your mill with small particles and clog it.

Bean Adapter

Allows you to grind large beans such as garbanzo beans. It slows the feed down so that the garbanzo beans don’t get stuck because of their irregular shape.

The WonderMill uses an air filter. Always make sure it’s completely dry and clean before each use. Also, to clean make sure you remove as much dry flour as possible otherwise the flour might clump in the filter.

Always make sure separator cup is in place before milling or flour might go everywhere.

Final Thoughts

Wondermills are noisy and difficult to control, but if you know what you’re doing, they certainly get it done right. Wondermill actually tested their mills by running half a ton of flour through it over a course of ten hours to try to burn out the motor, the mill they used is still in use as a demonstration mill. So if reliability and endurance is what you need, Without some of the other difficulties of other impact mills, then the Wondermill is for you.

One argument against these mills is that the flour is heated up during milling. The counter argument is that flour needs to be heated to nearly 130 degrees before it becomes a problem, so if your mill has a powerful motor like the Wondermill, this would never be an issue .

Wondermill has some of the best reviews on their website and on Amazon. You might also like their manual mill Wonder Junior Deluxe. I think it’s the best hand mill on the market.
