I have baked bread for many years. I tried a small hand cranked mill and was 
ultimately frustrated at how long it took to make enough flour for even one 
loaf of bread.  I suspect you would need one of the large ones that run on 
bicyle power or an electric one.  I personally use the Grain Master Whisper 
Mill. It is extremely fast for a $200 mill.

The Bread Book by Tom Leonard (East West Health Books 17 Station  
treet, Brookline Massachusettes 02146)  rates grain mills - electric  
nd hand cranked -  quite thoroughly.

 We are looking for recommendations on hand-crank type appliances.
 Specifically in this moment, grain mills. Its easy to find a  
 variety of
 these appliances on websites, but in terms of getting a sense of good
 quality we haven't stumbled on that info yet. We'd found Lehmans, but
 another friend of mine thought we could find better quality elsewhere
 (but made no suggestions). We are just trying to do our homework  
 before
 purchasing.

 Does anyone have any suggestions of manual grain mills they would
 recommend? This would be for smaller quantities for home, not to do  
 any
 commercial with the product.

 Thank you for any recommendations :-)
