Country Living hand mill review
By Tom Calder
The heavy-duty hand mill: cast aircraft aluminum, made in the USA, adjustable from cracked grain to cake flour, with a lifetime warranty. It's the one to own if the reason you're storing wheat is to bake without power. It's an investment, and at 16 pounds it's built to stay put.
- Best for
- Grinding wheat by hand, for decades
- Skip it if
- You'll only crack corn or grind occasionally
