Can I use it to grind wheat? The description didn't say this. How about granding beans, wheat, etc? Has anybody tried?

This is a meat grinder. it grinds meat and other relatively soft, wet things. Kitchenaid also makes a grain mill. it is used to grind grain. this is not the grain mill. they are not interchangeable.

I purchased this attachment for that purpose, and I DON'T RECOMMEND IT! We are a family of Celic Disease sufferers, so in order to cut costs on grains/flours, I buy many items in bulk and grind them. This thing will NOT work for that. Nor will it work for nuts. The grain/nut paste gets caught in the grinder and cannot push it through the faceplate quickly enough. It ends up pushing the plastic ring casing off its mount and can even snap it. I worried it was also going to burn out the motor. It's really just a disaster.If you are interested in grinding those items, I REALLY recommend investing in a good burr grinder. I have had the best luck with them in grinding grain.

I've not tried to grind grain with mine, but it is very powerful, so I imagine it could. I regularly make smoothies with lots of frozen fruit and it pulverizes them in no time at all.

As far milling grain it works good for beer and for wheat im not sure get in contact with millars. Plus you don't want to grind up hops when putting in beer

I don't think it has the capabilities to grind things into powders. I am almost 100% certain it cannot. I primarily use it for my dogs food and it can barely grind chicken bones which it is supposed to be able to do.

It says in the instructions that you should only grind coffee with it, but I haven't tried anything else. Honestly, I can't think of a good reason why that wouldn't work. It is very small, though, so if capacity is what you're looking for it may not help anyway. It holds around 4 scoops- maybe a little more- of whole coffee beans in the hopper. Sorry, I couldn't be more help!

Have not used it to grind grain, sorry. But it has done well with all I have used it for.

I've used it to grind nutmeg, and it works pretty well. You need to put more than one nut into the chamber for it to work well (and it gets pretty noisy), but it will grind it up.

Have never used it for the seeds you have listed, but know it will grind coffee beans up to an almost dust. Have enjoyed it, when I do decided to grind coffee beans.

It grinds anything you want to, the only problem is that it shaves off pieces of metal everytime i try to grind from seeds to corn. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT AT ALL. DO NOT BUY IT, IS NOT WORTH IT...I still have mine, i also called and email the website from were i bought this grinder to see if i can return it but they never answered me back.

I use mine strictly for coffee beans. I read in other reviews that people had problems with clogging while grinding grain. My beans are very oily, but have yet to have an issue with clogging.

No, I have only used it for coffee. I think that grinding moist substances, like ginger and garlic, would not work well unless it was fully loaded. I wouldn't do this with my mine.

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.

It does not do a very good job of grinding large, hard spices such as nutmeg. You would need to break up the nut somewhat to get a fine grind of nutmeg. Nothing works as well as a microplane for nutmeg.

I would certainly not recommend purchasing the VICTORIO Deluxe Grain Mill (VKP1024) for the sole purpose of grinding dried herbs as that is not what it is designed for. That being said, if you are looking for a grain mill which you can also use for other items, then this is the right mill. Keep in mind that you don't want to put any wet foods or oily foods into the mill as it will gum up and eventually damage the milling cones.

It will grind it to a point. Not to flour consistency. Might work for what your looking to do.

Hi Gerald-- To be honest, I don't think it was meant for that type of application but I'm semi-impressed it worked at all! Have you considered just getting a grain mill? I think Amazon sell a variety of models that should do the job right for you. Good luck!

Yes and no, You can adjust the grinding plate wide enough so that you could run your wheat through it and hull it. Obviously you would then have to winnow the wheat afterwards. As far as the "foreign objects" you would want to make sure that any rocks or very hard items are not run through the mill because it could damage the cast iron burrs. (I would use a screen for this, you can go to most hardware or farm and ranch supply to find different size screens to strain out the majority of the unwanted stuff, this makes it very fast to get rid of the majority of foreign material) The cleaner the grain in the beginning the less problems you will have and save a lot of time overall. This mill is the most bullet proof of all the mills I have used over the last 20 years but anything can be damaged with miss use. Having said that I have been milling wheat (off and on) for 10+ years with the same set of burrs and it is still going strong.
