Corona Manual Grain Mill, Molino para Moler Maiz, Cast Iron Grinder

I purchased this to grind up fish pellets designed for large catfish to a size more appropriate for panfish (bluegills, shell crackers) and minnows. Assembly was easy. I attached it to my dock, alleviating my worry about the clamp size -- it just fit with about a 1/4 inch to spare. Although the grinder is very heavy, the clamp works great and appears super sturdy. I did not attach the hopper since I will be processing just a handful of fish pellets at a time. The grinding was SUPER SATISFYING. The tension applicator to the grinding plates works great, allowing for a nearly untouched pellet size down to a fine powder. After adjusting to the perfect output size, the fish and the buyer are ABSOLUTELY PLEASED !!!

This works really great. The end product is a blend of fine and small coarse particles when adjusted max tightness, you won't get a fine powder. The level of adjustments is a good option. As mentioned by others, it does leave tiny chrome flakes in the grind, but this wears off in time, like dealing with off tastes and possible rust when seasoning a good frypan. I ran a huge bag of cheap white rice through it twice, this helped reduce the flakes a lot. The chroming of the item is to inhibit rusting of the cast iron. I'm personally not worried about it, did my homework and decided the risk is small to zero. Countertop/table can't be any more than about 1 and 1/2" thick, it won't fit. My counter edge has a narrow lip and I had to place a 3/8" piece of plyboard underneath for a sturdy grip. There is a rubber boot included for the top clamp to protect countertop. Easy to assemble and disassemble for storage. A good buy and will last a long time!

I love this mighty grain grinder. It exceeded all my expectations. I did not expect that it is still possible to buy quality product for reasonable price.

It’s more of a 3-4 stars. It works but with specific proceedings. It’s great for small amounts, if you are patient. But not for grinding a lot at a time, gets a little stuck. Other than that my aunt was able to make tasty humitas with this! she uses it a lot.

This has worked great so far. I've ground over 110 pounds of shelled field corn into 104+ pounds of cracked corn to feed to the birds and 6+ pounds of cornmeal to use for baking. Hopefully it holds up and performs like this for years to come.

I've used a couple of these so far. The first one I got was good. I received another as a gift. Both authentic Corona grinders. However, the bolts seized on the grind plate attached to the body of the grinder and wouldn't come out for a while (required WD40 and serious "taping" to remove the bolt). Also, just noticed the tin coating come off of the grind plates as well. This was very concerning, so I threw it out. Getting a different brand now. I only used the grinder three times. And the first time it got stuck. The third time it shed tin.

Quality.

The only minor problem is that there is a tiny crack between the hopper and where it fits so a few smaller grains slip through. And it is a little larger than I expected. If you're prepared for that, then this grinder is excellent. I wanted a grinder that could grind flax seed and it did a great job. I also ground some rolled oats into oat flour. I'm trying to use less wheat flour and this grinder is the perfect for trying to improve one's health.

This is great fun! Have not used it much, as yet, but it is easy to put together and good and sturdy. I got it as I had been pondering an electric mill. I could not justify the cost as I don't need to mill that much and what I really need it for is coarse or cracked grain which I cannot get ready-to-buy. The wood on the handle was split on arrival, however, so I will follow up with that. It hasn't affected its performance. I looked at the comments on a competitor's mill, and went with this one. Glad I did. It looks challenging to put together when you open it, but it really is straightforward. If you are looking, then I have no problem recommending this. Yes, it has a noise to it, but of course it would, and you are only using it for a brief time. It has ground well for the things I have tried with so far. It will take a few passes for fine grind, but that's not a problem. It is all part of the fun of cooking.

I use it to hull dry soybeans to make tempeh. So far very happy with it, now I know how to adjust the screw to just split the soybeans without mashing them to flour. Of course need a further step to get rid of the hulls after soaking and floating. All in all a bit time-consuming for bigger quantities but OK for home production. Haven't tried it a a pure flour mill. Main issue is to have to dismantle the unit and even unscrew 3 screws to really be able to wash residues in depth. But getting better and faster at doing it. All in all happy with the strong quality and for the purpose I use it for.

Good quality. Works great
