We have specially selected the following mills and flakers for the UK market. There are many mills on the market on the continent and in North America. We have carefully searched for the best mills that are the best value. In our opinion, the best quality and value mill on the market is made in Germany by Schnitzer.
Schnitzer mills combine quality and affordability. You can spend more and get a lot less. We will review several aspects of why we recommend and sell Schnitzer mills.
Schnitzer quality. This can first be seen in the fine craftsmanship of the cabinet. Schnitzer mills have beautiful natural beech or lime wood cabinets that are solid wood. There are more expensive units from the continent that use veneer rather than solid wood. Solid wood means that the unit will last longer. You can also see the quality in the choice of the milling mechanism. The mill is composed of real stone in a composite that provides a self sharpening, self cleaning stone mill that will last for decades. We have personally used plastic mills and plastic wears out and parts break.
Schnitzer Value. The first aspect of value is that the Schnitzer mills are built to last. They are well constructed, have a 2-year guarantee, and are basically problem free. The combination of quality and affordability make Schnitzer an excellent choice.
Ease of Use. The Schnitzer mills are self cleaning and require little maintenance. The plastic mills usually mill the flour into a plastic storage container that is a part of the mill. These storage containers require constant maintenance and cleaning. The metal burr mills are often extremely loud to operate and require plastic sponge filters to keep the flour from spreading all over your kitchen. These filters require constant maintenance. The Schnitzer mill grinds the flour gently into whatever container you use for your cooking.
Low Heat and Noise. The slower the rotation of the mill, the less heat generated. The more heat, the more nutritional loss through the milling process. Most metal burr mills are so loud that you need ear plugs to prevent damage to your hearing.
