Thank you Claudia, and lbsaltzman. That is important to know - - that it takes so long just to
get enough flour for one loaf of bread! We haven't tried any mills at all yet, so I didn't have
a frame of reference.

Thank you both for the info.

Jody

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.

Hello all-

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 :-)
