I'm looking for a mill that can do a variety of textures, from very coarse to very fine. How effective is this mill for that kind of variety?

This mill is great for different textures. If you want very fine, we keep putting the flour back in and keep doing this to get super fine flour. There are adjustments also on this machine. Coarse flour is easy to do. I would highly recommend this mill!

This grain mill is very effective for that purpose. It is very easy to set the grinding stone distance to allow for setting the fineness of your flour. You can also purchase additional augers for grinding beans and corn. Bare in mind, though, that the finer the desired product, the harder it is to turn the wheel.

This mill has adjustments which allows fine and course texture. We love it!

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.

This mill is very effective and easy to use. I would recommend purchasing the bar extension as it reducing the the grinding effort. Mount it securely to a table. Also purchase the small container available to catch the ground grain.

a fine sand paper effect. I use mine frequently for grinding and absolutely love it! I believe it is well worth the investment.

Yes Sanjay, that is exactly my predicament at this moment, as both kind of materials i.e metal and stone may leave residuals. So i am unable to make sure which grain mill to go with. So far i am sure i won't buy anything with Corundum. May be "Basalt in Magnesite" as used on those Schnitzer grain mills may be worth researching. If you come across some other solution then please share.

You can adjust it to grind at different degrees of coarseness, and it is very consistent at whatever degree you choose. It is smaller than I expected, but otherwise very nice. I prefer it to the electric grinder when I am making less than a full pot. It takes too long to use for a full pot since you have to refill it 3 or 4 times.

I've ground a pretty wide variety of peppercorns through this mill (ada banyak variasi di Indonesia). And this is the best peppermill that I have ever used in that respect. It feeds well and the blades are as sharp as day one. My only complaint is that it grinds less finely than you would expect for a fine mill. I can only wonder what the coarse mill does, just crack them?

They are all the same grit, not 'really' coarse, although they are a tiny bit coarser towards the colored end. They are very effective.

I choose to eat gluten free and chose this mill as I had heard it would be able to grind rice, beans and other no gluten grains. I did buy the small grains attachment but have not tried them yet. I'm not sure what other mill you are looking at but so far I am extremely happy with my WonderMill. Best of luck in your search.

Like the others have said, mine is a full flat grind. The only thing I'm not really that crazy about is the finish--it has a feel similar to sand paper. I'm new to this kind of finish, so I'm not truly sure what the advantages of this are. You can always sand it down with fine grit sand paper, or remove it with some paint stripper if you so desire.

This by far is the best and most beautiful mill on the market. I use mine almost every day. The flours come out perfect for all my breads and pastries. I have never used it for tapioca. I would suggest e mailing the company to find out. You will love this mill.

It can make coarse almond flour, but it's not going to be fine like the stuff you would buy. I have used it for that and the coarse flour works fine for me.

I am not sure about nixtamal (?) however, the more you pass the grain through the grinder and tighten the pressure the finer it becomes. I did hard winter wheat and it became very fine, so much so I could have used it for cake flour.

Since lifestock don't need a fine flour, you could probably get away with using the corn/bean auger to crack the grain and keep the stones on a very course setting. If you motorized it or hooked it up to a bike it would probably work ok. You may want to look into something that is specifically designed to just crack grains.

I use all kinds of textures from nuts to all types of fruit and veggies. it depends how smooth you want the final product to be. Just let it run longer or add more milk/water for extra smoothness.

This Kitchen Mill WILL mill the following materials that have less than 15% moisture content: Wheat Lentils Garbanzo beans Barley Pinto Beans Chickpeas Most Type Beans Millet Green Peas Split Peas Legumes Oats Corn (including Popcorn) Soybeans Mung Beans Rice Sorghum (milo) Spelt Feed/Field corn Rye Triticale Quinoa Oyster shells Kamut Amaranth Teff The Kitchen Mill WILL NOT mill the following materials due to stickiness, oils, and moisture content: Sugar and Salt All seeds including Sunflower & Sesame Nuts of all kinds including Peanuts Dried fruits including dates and raisins Tapioca Pearls Coffee Beans Mesquite Beans - too fibrous Flaxseed Fresh or dried Herbs Fresh or dried Spices I have been very successful using my coffee grinder for this kind of jobs. It works great and usually you don't need many cups of nut or seed flour at a time.

Mine will do very coarse better than ultra fine. I use it on fish all the time.

I really think you would be satisfied with this pepper mill. It has 3 settings. The coarse setting will usually cut the peppercorns in half. I call them chunks!! I love the way you can set it to come on automatically whenever you turn it upside down. Just have to remember to turn it off when you add batteries or peppercorns. This is the 3rd electric mill I've had and it's the first one I've been pleased with. Hope you find it satisfactory as well.

I use this grinder for espresso drinks and have never tried grinding much more coarsely. I would recommend contacting the manufacturer. They have great customer service and can advise you fairly quickly after sending them a message.
