Victoria Manual Cast Iron Grain Mill with High Hopper, Premium Corn-Grinding Mill and Grain Grinder, Made in Colombia

The Victoria Manual Grain Grinder with High Hopper is a solid, old-school kitchen tool built for those who value hands-on food prep. Made in Colombia with durable cast iron, this grinder is designed to last and delivers consistent performance for grinding corn, grains, coffee, spices, and more. Assembly was straightforward, and the clamp fits securely to my kitchen counter. The high hopper is a nice touch—it holds a good amount of grain, which cuts down on refilling. I especially appreciate the adjustable grind settings, which let me switch between coarse and medium textures with ease. Just keep in mind, it’s not intended for superfine flour. It does take some elbow grease, especially if you're grinding in bulk, but that’s expected with a manual mill. The grind is smooth, and once you get the rhythm down, it’s actually satisfying to use. Bonus points for the anti-corrosion tin plating, which helps with cleaning and longevity.

I purchased this Victoria Manual Cast Iron Grain Mill mainly to grind raw, inexpensive sunflower seeds into fine sunflower chips for our wild finches—and it works perfectly for that! The mill is solidly built, very sturdy, and easy to assemble. Adjusting the grind setting is simple, allowing me to get exactly the texture I want—fine enough to be easy for the finches to eat, but not so fine that it turns into flour. The hopper holds a generous amount of seeds, and the clamp mounts securely to my workbench. It grinds smoothly and efficiently without any wobble or slippage. Overall, this is a high-quality, well-designed tool that feels like it will last a lifetime. I’ve included a photo showing the texture of the ground sunflower seeds—it’s just right for finch feeders. Highly recommended!

I use this mill to make cracked corn to put in bird food and/or suet cakes. Works well for that. Regarding quality: the cotter key that holds the grinder unit wasn't placed well when shipped and I had to adjust it to create the needed clearance with the cross-brace - not a big deal, but shouldn't have been necessary. I thought the photo-related assembly instructions on the inside of the box were adequate; however, getting the grinding plates adjusted to make the coarse cracked corn I was looking for was a bit of a challenge. Took some intuition and experimenting to make the proper adjustments. I mount the mill to the workbench in the garage (the bench top is made from 2x6's). Seems pretty stable. I will also be grinding some wheat, but haven't yet gotten to this. The unit did smell pretty bad and had some "manufacturing debris" in it when it arrived, but a thorough wash with soap and hot water took care of that. Also, the hopper was a bit distorted when it arrived; however, I really didn't have much trouble attaching the hopper to the base unit. The "throw" of the grinding handle is long enough to make the physical effort to grind hard, dry corn reasonable. My 20+ year old daughter didn't have any trouble turning the crank. It's a bit early to rate the "durability" of the mill since I've only used it two times. So, I've given this mill a 4 star rating - which I think is fair. I doubt I'll ever try to make corn flour with the mill, but it appears it would be able to do that as well.

As an avid home baker, I recently purchased the Victoria Manual Cast Iron Grain Mill. It's been a game-changer in my kitchen, allowing me to grind fresh grains effortlessly for all my baking needs. The sturdy build and high hopper capacity make it a reliable tool for grinding corn and grains. Plus, it's Made in Colombia, adding an authentic touch to my kitchen essentials. Recently, while using it, I caught myself humming a familiar tune, enjoying the process even more. Definitely a worthwhile investment for any home baker.

I really wanted a good hand cracked Mill. But didn't have the means drop 2-3 hundo on one, yet. So after reading some reviews I pulled the trigger on this one. And although i haven't had time to put much through this, the initial set up and first sacrificial grind, worked very well. looking forward to putting some corn through this for my first mash.

Works very well

Para Uso doméstico puntual.

Wurde sehr schnell von Amazon US geliefert. Trichter und Mühle sind genau die Größe die ich wollte. In den Trichter geht ca. ein 0.5l Messbecher Erbsen rein. Getrocknete Kichererbsen, Erbsen oder Bohnen sind kein Problem. Getreide und Reis sowieso nicht. Die maximale Feinheit ist recht gut. Hier liest man oft Klagen über Maschienenöl Reste und Abrieb. Ich habe den Teichter mit Vogelsand gefüllt und mehrfach duchgelassen. Danach noch einen Trichter Reis. Danach gibt es keinen Abrieb mehr. Und natürlich muss man, wie bei Kleidung, das Ganze einmal mit Bürste und Spülmittel reinigen. Danach hat man eine Mühle zum vererben.

Needed a grinder for hard dry corn and this did it effortlessly in 2 minutes, on my picture this is as coarse as it goes. Could be too small if youre going for 10+kgs but it will do it. Sturdy, heavy, all cast iron, SS hopper with roughly 1.5kg capacity. The only plastic part is the cover. Shipped oiled as it should, easy to assemble, disassemble, clean. No metal fragments in finish product. This is the quality tool your great grand parents used that you can still find in working condition in antique shops.

Als erstes vorweg, die Mühle tut, verrichtet ihre Arbeit super! Was ich nicht so gut fand: Der Karton ist etwas zu instabiel scheinbar für den Inhalt. Da dieser aber nochmal verpackt ist, ist das kein Problem. Es war nichts kaputt! Was ich gut finde: Die Mühle lässt sich schnell und einfach zusammen bauen. Ebenso lässt sich diese schön einstellen auf das geschrotete Gut. Reinigen klappt auch super. Sonstige Punkte: Ja die auch meine Mühle war mit Öl benetzt, dafür gibt es aber Sphlmittel, dadurch war es überhaupt kein Problem. Von Chrom abklappern oder der gleichen kann ich noch nichts berichten. Wir haben in kurzer Zeit 5,5kg Malz damit geschrotet. Ich würde diese Mühle sofort nochmal kaufen und genau so weiter empfehlen.

المنتج ممتاز ولكن هناك بعض التلفيات والخدوش البسيطة ولكن ممتاز وتم تعديلها والمنتج ماتوقعت يكون ثقيل جدا يمكن ٦ كيلو ومعدن
