The quantities of flour specified here refer to “bread fine” milled flour from cereals such as wheat, rye, spelt, etc.

The amount of flour per minute is reduced depending on the fineness.
Please also note that the amount of flour to be ground may be reduced when grinding hard types of grain.

¹These cereals are extremely hard.

A great deal of heat is generated during grinding, resulting in condensation. Therefore, grind only in very small quantities (depending on the type of mill).

Reach into the flour – if it is too hot, switch off the grinder and ventilate the grinding chamber after grinding.
Depending on the fineness, you can grind appr. 1 – 2 lbs within one run.

For more information see operating instructions.

² Corn:
There are many different types of corn. The corn commonly used in Austria and Germany is no problem for the labeled mills. But especially in Italy there are very old, particularly oily and hard varieties, some of which we know cannot be ground. Unfortunately, we cannot test and list all types of maize.

³Amaranth is a very small grain. During grinding, a lot of heat is generated and there is a risk of the grinding stones sticking together.

⁴Lupinian in small quantities, with other cereal grains

What You Cannot Grind:

In general, oily seeds cannot be ground, such as:

Flaxseed
Mustard seeds
Sunflower seeds

Pumpkin seeds
Nuts

Due to their consistency, you cannot grind:

Salt
Sugar
Tea
Blossoms
Leaves
Buds
Grasses
Sprouts
Small pieces of wood
Dried small fruits and berries

Various seeds

It is not recommended to grind coffee. The color and smell will penetrate the millstone, and cleaning will be very difficult. If you wish to grind coffee exclusively, please contact us.
