Constructed from beautifully finished solid beechwood in a unique hexagonal design, the KoMo PK 1 Grain Mill makes a perfect appliance in any kitchen whether traditional or contemporary in decor and motif. Its measurements of 16″ H x 9.7″ D x 9.4″ W do not make it too bulky to leave on your kitchen counter.
The six-sided cabinet houses corundum/ceramic grinding burrs. These are self-sharpening stones that will continue grinding grains even after years of use. Neither corundum nor ceramics generate heat when grinding, thus your grains are not adversely affected.
Also inside the cabinet is a 360-watt, or 0.5 horsepower, electric motor that powers the 3.35-inch grinders. With this power, it is extremely efficient and reliable, yet it remains very quiet with a minimum of vibration. When set at the finest level, the grain mill is capable of producing 3.5 ounces of flour. These fall out of the mill through a tubular spout that extends from the cabinet making it easy to set a bowl to catch them.
The grinders, backed up by the powerful motor, are capable of grinding different types of grains. They can easily process both hard and soft wheat, barley, oat groats, rye, rice, quinoa, and corn among others. They can also handle dry beans such as pinto, kidney, garbanzo, and red beans.
The hopper sits atop the cabinet. It is also hexagonal but it tapers at the bottom to where it is attached to the cabinet body. It has a lid with a spherical handle that is also made of beechwood. It has a capacity of approximately 10 ounces or 2 pounds. Turning the hopper adjusts the fineness of your grounds, ranging from coarse meal or cracked grain to extra fine flour.
