Corona Corn Grinder With High Hopper, Manual Grain Mill for Rice, Soybeans, Pepper, Chickpeas, Cast Iron Wheat Grinder for Domestic Use

This is great fun! Have not used it much, as yet, but it is easy to put together and good and sturdy. I got it as I had been pondering an electric mill. I could not justify the cost as I don't need to mill that much and what I really need it for is coarse or cracked grain which I cannot get ready-to-buy. The wood on the handle was split on arrival, however, so I will follow up with that. It hasn't affected its performance. I looked at the comments on a competitor's mill, and went with this one. Glad I did. It looks challenging to put together when you open it, but it really is straightforward. If you are looking, then I have no problem recommending this. Yes, it has a noise to it, but of course it would, and you are only using it for a brief time. It has ground well for the things I have tried with so far. It will take a few passes for fine grind, but that's not a problem. It is all part of the fun of cooking.

I use it to hull dry soybeans to make tempeh. So far very happy with it, now I know how to adjust the screw to just split the soybeans without mashing them to flour. Of course need a further step to get rid of the hulls after soaking and floating. All in all a bit time-consuming for bigger quantities but OK for home production. Haven't tried it a a pure flour mill. Main issue is to have to dismantle the unit and even unscrew 3 screws to really be able to wash residues in depth. But getting better and faster at doing it. All in all happy with the strong quality and for the purpose I use it for.

Terrible. The discs that do the actual grinding are loose and cannot be tightened as there is a bubble preventing it.
