A grain mill turns whole wheat, corn, rice and other dry grains into flour at home. Some mills use fast spinning blades, some use stone or rollers, and one fits onto a stand mixer. The right type depends on how much you mill, how fine you want it and how much counter space you have.
The six mills below cover an electric home mill, a manual stone mill, a roller mill and flaker, a stand mixer attachment and two blade-style electric grinders. Sizes, power and capacity come from each product’s listing page. We have not used these mills ourselves. Feature claims are the makers’ own.

Grain Mill FAQ
Which type makes the finest flour?
The blade mills here list 30 to 300 mesh, and the FOCOLLK lists nine levels. Fineness claims are the makers’ own.
Do I need a motor?
Not for the FEFZSFER, which is hand-cranked. The Marcato can take a separate motor, and the FOCOLLK uses your stand mixer.
The Short Version
For a compact electric home mill, the Kitchen Mill. For hand milling, the FEFZSFER. For flour and flakes, the Marcato. For a timer and 30 to 300 mesh, the VEVOR. For a stand mixer, the FOCOLLK. For a larger 750g jar, the LEJIEYIN.
