Works for me!
As usual, I always read review before I purchase an item. I had decided that I didn't want to pay $3.99 for Ezekiel Bread anymore and wanted to make my own.
Plan A: I bought all the ingredients needed (several varieties of whole beans)put them in my food processor to make it quickly turn into flour (the instructions said it would only take 10 seconds). Twenty-five minutes of pulsing and not seeing any powdery flour - only whole beans, I knew I had to do something else. So I tried to sprout the beans. After 3 days of rinsing beans, I created a loaf of Ezekial Bread that could easily hold a small yacht in place.
Plan B: Time to look for a flour/grain mill. I didn't want to spend a fortune so I looked at all the flour mills for under $100. I saw the Victorio Hand Crank Grain Mill, read the reviews, some favorable, some not and decided to give it a try. I LOVE IT! Yes, it's manual and it took me about 20 minutes to crank out 5 Cups of beautiful fine flour but I also got my exercise in so it was worth it.
Do I recommend this product? Absolutely! By the way, I did bake my bread and it smells heavenly! Also, it's small and stores so easily (the box is about as wide as one of my cookbooks).
Buy it, you won't be sorry.
