I think the vitamix750 odds wonderful and would do a great job. The Nutrimill would also work very well. We do sell several mills and blenders.

The Vitamix Professional Series 200 is 449.00 and goes from there to 649. for the professional 750 series. The Nutrimill is on sale for 239.95Bob

Hi Mark....I bought but do not recommend this grinder. It is plastic, very light weight, and I cannot get it to do the extra fine grind. I installed as per the manual, and only later found the yellow paper advising to ignore the directions, as this could break a piece of the plastic. Unfortunately I only saw this after the small plastic piece broke. As Amazon gets this from another supplier, they do not stand behind this product. I have the Breville burr grinder and love it!

fine to coarse, mine stopped working after a month, could not return, no repair center, after I bought the Cuisinart DBM-8 Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill, still works great after 6 months, spend the extra money and save your self from this grinder, its a dud...happy fathers day

I mainly use the blender for salsas and smoothies. Although, one of the ingredients for smoothies are nuts. I have noticed that in order to blend the seeds or nuts, i have to push it to the highest speed. Is this normal?

I have yet to find a grinder outside the supermarket that can manage a coarse grind. We just eventually started filtering the French press coffee through a gold filter to remove most of the fine particles, although the sludge can be nasty. So....Anyone know where to get the grinder from the supermarket??

Good luck...I returned this piece of junk and finally got a Vitamix! If you are into blending hearty veggies like those (as I am), then you should invest in a Vitamix or Blendtec. You won't regret it! :)

It has to be a really small batch, I use half a cup of steel cut oats and two cups of water, overnight on the porridge setting. Comes out perfect every time. I tried cooking it with almond milk, and had boil over even with a small batch, so I just stick with water and add in more of whatever I want after it is cooked. If you need more than a couple servings of Oatmeal at a time, a cooker bigger than this one might be better, I lucked out in that this is all I need for my small family.

I love the ninja. I had the MagicBullet before and it was a disappointment. The ninja holds more and does a much, much better job on ice cubes. I use it mostly for smoothies but the big bowl (40 oz) is nice, too. I made gazpacho in it last summer and it was perfect. One of these days, I'll get around to making some of the other stuff in the recipe book.

I would advise you to try a different blender. Perhaps I don't "stack" the blender correctly, but even moderately thick smoothies/shakes get hung up and I end up smacking the side in order to get it to mix. I prefer mine relatively thin (think drinkable yogurt consistency) so it works fine for me; I just don't think it'll handle something that thick. If you're able, check out a VitaMix - those suckers would blend a leather boot into drinkable form.

I sent the bowl that I had back to the seller. The bowl is glazed on the outside and the upper rim; but, the surface texture is too rough in my opinion. In time, a person my be able to grind down the inner surface to make it smoother. I discovered that I can use one of my Corel dessert plates and the back of a spoon to grind pills very fine. For my purposes, though, the medication doesn't need to be superfine since I'm mixing it with my cat's food. My concern was the same as yours.

I had great luck with the blender. I love the different attachments and the power boost button. As long as you use a deep enough bowl it works great. I haven't had any problem with splattering anything. I don't use my big blender much anymore. I would give it a 5 star rating

I added yogurt and fruit to mine to help with the grainy texture. It did help. But after awhile, I just couldn't take the "bits of dirt" (grains) left in the bottom of my cup, so I stopped using it. Pure Protein brand is pretty good, with much less grit.

I had the same problem with my first few batches.The solution for me was to put a pat of butter or (more recently) a little coconut oil--2 tsp or so for 1 1/2 cups of dry oats.I measure my steel cut oats in the rice cup and add water to the appropriate line under "porridge." Toss in some salt, cinnamon, vanilla, and some butter or coconut oil, use the porridge setting, and set the timer to have it done at 6:00 AM. Comes out perfect and delicious every time, with no mess.I have not had to soak or adjust portions at all. Just use the rice cup and the lines on the bowl.

I just got the grain grinder attachment for Mother's Day! I used to have a Komo grain mill, capable of very fine grinding. The flour I get from grinding with the attachment isn't quite as fine, but is still very good. I use it for my weekly bread baking without much loss in quality. I don't have the pasta attachment or blender yet, but I do have the shredder and the juicer. I love both. Overall, like the Verona the attachments seem to be very well made.

Really? I've found it to be one of the better tasking powders. That having been said, I make a smoothy with a banana, a scoop of Vega, a handful of frozen strawberries, a handful of frozen cherries, and top it up (to the consistency you like) with vanilla almond milk. Give it a good blitz (a Vitamix is capable of breaking it down even further so it's not chalky at all) and voila! Blends right in! Pun intended... :)

I'm not sure about oat groats, though I can say definitively that when grinding corn it must be completely dry or it will gum up the mill...hope this helps.

I think you might be looking for the coffee grinder that the manufacturer sell because this unit is for blending fruits and making smoothies. thanks
