This looks a lot like my old Moulin Legumes food mill. Are the holes punched like a grater as some newer ones have smooth holes which don't work?

Punched. Recommended by Martha Stewart on one of her shows. I bought it and it works great. Figured if it's good enough for Martha, it's good enough for me.

I love mine.use it all the time from making jelly, tomato juice, even like a ricer for smooth mashed potatoes. Definitely not smooth.

No, the hopper is not air tight. But, once you open a bag of coffee beans, that is not air tight either. This should not influence your decision. It is a very good burr mill, well worth the $$$$$.

Hi Lisa: We also had an old one that leaked like a sieve, but it was probably 50 years old, so that's what prompted me to buy a different one. This one, I do keep a little bowl on the floor in case it drips.........I have found it'll drip a small amount if I'm making 'V5', and my carrots aren't mushy enough. The strainer probably isn't made for that, but that food mill will go through anything. So, in answer to your question, I would say 'yes', but only a matter of a few drops........NOTHING like my previous mill, where most of the juice was on the floor. Hope this helps!

Hello Thea! I'm sorry I am just now seeing this message. Our grind mechanism is made of high quality stainless steel, in fact the original designer of these mills is in the business of metal so he made sure the very best quality was used. I hope this helps! Maria, Owner Grind Gourmet

If you have assembled the mill correctly you don't need holes. That is why I bought this mill. You should get a ripping chain. This is going to give a smoother cut and your chain isn't going to get to hot.

I have not yet dismantled the grinder yet-- but I do know that the mill is adjustable-- and that the grinders are large enough to handle Coffee berry/beans just fine. Ask me in a year or two, if I have had a chance to tear into it by then.-- Mack

I haven't used this model, it was a gift...but the previous model called a Happy Bwby Food Grinder, left little to nothing when the plunger reached the blade. If you are doing really tough, dry meat, you might have a little problem. I chopped any meats us tiny and incorporated with a vegetable.

I had to do it yesterday. My husband tried grinding very old beans (as it turned out) and almost killed our grinder. I watched a couple excellent YouTubes on cleaning the Bodum and took it apart, prying out the rock-like beans caught in the blades, vacuuming everything very well. Once you take off the hopper off, the insides pull straight up, easily. Hope this helps.

Not freshly milled but I do use an Irish flour from King Arthur for a brown bread and the bran does get nicely separated when I sift the flour.

Mine have holes to :/ I have found that removing the metal spinners when the bread is warm makes the holes slightly smaller and you can mold the bread back together a little bit.

The mill has a wide adjustment range. Its capable of grinding fine flour or very course grinds. The adjustment is very easy to use as well.

Dear Mr./Ms. S. Nika, Hi. I can not answer your question completely, because I did not buy the drill attachment. I have not ground any wheat with this mill yet. I have only used this mill once so far to grind a pound of rice with the hand crank. set-up, playing with adjustments and then ran it through a second time to get the consistency of cornmeal took me about two hours. On the question about grinding oily nuts I have not done yet. I can tell you this, I love this Mill, it gives me fresh ground flour when I want it, the way I want it and if the grid goes down I can grind flour to make my bread and feed my family.Sincerely Yours,D.

To answer your question, I tried the "coarse" setting (since I never use it). Most of the pieces were coarse but some were more like "medium." Looks like the grind is not even on the "coarse" setting.

I received 4 strainer disks that have different size holes. I use the smallest for fuit such as raspberry which is super. I also use another disk for my potatoes. They are really easy to swap out. This food mill is a really good quality and a wonderful addition to my kitchen.

Nope... See their web site: http://www.bobsredmill.com/faqs.htmlThese are old-line grains. Wild type... It's an aquired taste. I cut mine with a decent whole wheat flour .. What you do... I like the stuff and ordered it more than once, as I recall. I have not used it in over a year and a half now but I suspect the formulation is the same

I don't see where anyone is saying the food is only pushed around. Reviews say the products works whether you use larger or smaller amounts of item. Make sure you are using the right attachments in the food mill. There are different ones, you might want to try a couple of them to see which one does what you want it to. I use smaller and larger amounts and it works great.

Hello, Trenner. I think you're talking about the rod that you actually crank to grind the beans? There is a bend in it, so I think you're okay.
