It really wasn’t practical to hand crank enough flour for cooking and baking on demand with the Sunshine Nugget mill. Especially that time is pretty hard to come by in my house these days, what with a baby hanging out all day. At least this was my rational justification for picking up a KoMo Grain Mill, ordered from Pleasant Hill Grain. (I also had the fortitude to resist buying a vintage Miyata One Thousand that was offered to me for a great price, so I figured I deserved it.)

Between the baby and my day job, however, the KoMo sat there tempting me over a week before I had time to actually put it to productive use. Test batches resulted in a nice soft flour, but I tossed them as part of the breaking in process (per manufacturer’s instructions).  It is a beautiful looking machine.

The Sunshine Nugget will still stay around though. I plan I will keep it latched to counter with the steel burrs to grind seeds and other wet grindable products that can’t go in the KoMo.
