Review on 🌟 CGOLDENWALL 700g Electric Grain Grinder Mill: High-Speed Safety Upgraded Superfine Powder Machine for Dry Cereals – Efficient Spice Herb Grinder for Commercial Use (110V, 2400W) by Robin Williams

I use this to grind durum wheat berries for baking bread. The machine is very well made, reliable and easy to use. It's pretty loud - about as loud as a vacuum cleaner or food processor. If you stick to the recommended time limits and make sure you let it cool down between uses, your engine is unlikely to burn out. Overall I'm happy with it, but have a few complaints. The main problem with this mill is the close proximity of the high speed motor to the process vessel. As a result, considerable heat is generated during processing, which forms a yellow-brown, flaky film on the bottom of the mill when wheat grains are ground (which always have a low residual moisture content). If you are careful when sifting, you can prevent this from getting into your flour. This mill uses mechanical cutting or grinding to turn processed wheat into flour. This works quite well, but it's not the same as mechanical milling (like in a traditional grain mill), so some parts of the wheat just aren't processed any finer. My guess is that chopped flour doesn't release as many starch particles as ground flour. The resulting flour is not as fine as what you buy in the store and after sifting/sifting (recommended) you will see a residual substance that will not pass through the sieve. I'm putting that aside and using it for other purposes as it doesn't seem to be handled any better. The resulting flour is certainly good enough for baking bread, but maybe not good enough for pies or thin pastries. Sieve and brush are very important in flour production. The strainer included in this pack is fine but could have been a bit finer. The brush is actually pretty bad - like a 50 cent brush from the hardware store. This brush tends to shed a lot of bristles, and getting hog bristles into your bread isn't very pretty. I would recommend getting a good quality pastry brush, cleaning it and drying it thoroughly before using it (tugging on the bristles to remove loose). One tool that does not come with this machine but would be very useful is a narrow (1cm) plastic scraper which is very useful for cleaning the jar between uses, mainly for flaking and removing material from the screws . knife and motor shaft. If you do decide to buy this or a similar wheat grinder, here are a few tricks I've found when using it: - Keep everything perfectly clean and DRY or you'll just make a terrible mess. When filling a jar with grain, only fill it so that it *just* covers the blades. Because flour fills with air as it grinds, adding more will cause a lot of flour to fall out when you remove the lid after grinding. However, make sure you bang the lid firmly a few times to allow the flour to settle before removing it. Always make sure to tighten the knob on the incline axis. It loosens when tipped, and if it loosens when the engine is started, the grinder can tip over dangerously and grind at an angle, which isn't very effective. 3 minutes should be enough to grind wheat. A little more and you'll end up with flaking and/or burning the wheat. If you want to make it finer, take out the flour and sift it, clean the bowl, let the flour and machine cool for 15-20 minutes, then try again. Make sure you have a finer mesh sieve if you try this. Since homemade flour is naturally free of any separating agents, it tends to cake and clump. I have a few recommendations for the manufacturer for future iterations of product development: - Improve thermal insulation between the motor in some way. and a mill jar, perhaps by increasing the distance between them and placing a fan on a shaft between them and a corresponding heat sink at the bottom of the jar. Currently, the motor housing stays pretty cool, but the grinder actually gets very hot. This will damage part of the material to be ground. - It is possible to install a thermal switch that will stop the motor if it or the tank gets too hot. - Turn on a better cleaning brush. - Include a small plastic scraper for cleaning. - Include a finer mesh sieve (#40?) in addition to the one provided. - Include better instructions with recommendations and/or suggested uses. , I decided to invest in a better screen. The machine is fairly efficient and stable, but coarser whole grain flours require a lot of autolysis to get something lighter than a brick, which can take up to 48 hours. Not wanting to wait that long and being able to use my homemade flour in a wider range of baked goods, I purchased a #50 electric sieve. As far as I can tell, the sieve that comes with this unit is something of a #20 screen (the lower the number, the larger the opening) so this should be an improvement. I would post some photos here, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
