I would like to know if it works well when grinding rye.

Hi Charlotte. It does grind rye well. The only issue I have with this is that if the knob isn't on really tight it spins the attachment and the seeds fly everywhere. Even when it is on tight I have to keep my eye on it because the auger causes a lot of vibration and it loosens. Otherwise, it's a good device to have. I hope this helps.

I've used it for corn, wheat and cinnamon ( bark). I've found its a very good small-batch mill, but the production speed is slow enough that large batches should be done on a dedicated mill. Also, plan on two-staging your grind for best results. Also, I have experienced no problems what-so-ever mechanically, and it is VERY easy to clean.

Yes I had no problem grinding rye or any of the hard wheat's with this grinder. I did put the grain through on the medium grind before grinding it on fine. The flour made great rye rolls.

You may need to grind a few times, for my case. Just try. It's full of fun.

This attachment grinds every kind of grain I have fed it. Hard wheat, soft wheat, rye, barley, and rice. Well built and easy to clean. One time through does the trick.

For my case, I need to grind a few times. However, it's full of fun. I enjoy the process of making everything.

I don't know about grinding rye as I use mostly wheat. I purchased the KitchenAid to make it more convient in grinding bread flour. This one took too long to grind enough flour for a batch of bread. I returned it for a refund and went back to using my homemade grinder.

Yes, a good one. I've used it at least once each weekend day for at least the last year with no degradation in quality of grind. I recommend it.

I have ground Quinia, Millet, Armiroth (sp), Rice, Flax Seed and other small seeds/grains with my mill. Poppy seeds are tiny black spheres so in my opinion they would grind well but likely slowly. As I am thinking that you would not be grinding a huge amount of Poppy seeds this is likely a good mill for the task as it cleans up so easily. The main problem I see is with OILY seeds such as "sunflower" that do tend to gum up the steel burs.

No, I haven't made rye bread with this one. I have however attempted corn bread with disastrous results; I tried plain old white bread twice and it too was inedible. I am really sorry I bought this machine. I had a Wel-Built before this one and it served me well for many years. Now I'm stuck as I really don't want to invest in another machine but I'm afraid to waste more bread flour in this machine. Shop carefully before you buy.

Paul, please write a review of this grinder. I have been unable to find ANY reviews in the web.

If you're looking to get the consistency of dry malt extract you'd get from your local brew store, this isn't the tool for you. If you are thinking of using this for crystal malt, it will work, but for the money, you can get a dedicated grinder that is more adjustable. I wish it ground a little bit finer, but it works. I have never tried putting the grain in for a second time, so it might be better than im describing. Also, it only fits a pound of grain at a time, but I've done 7 lbs of grain without overheating the mixer. If you're planning on using this for all grain, you might check other reviews (specific to your model of mixer) about overheating. Basically, it's an ok tool if you plan on getting one for multiple uses, but if brewing is going to be its primary function, spend the extra money for something that can handle more grain and a finer level grind.

I have been using this grinder for several months - I will grind as finely as you wish. It runs and has an automatic "off". If you want it more fine - run it longer. Whether the fine setting is correct or not is a matter of preference. It will grind very fine. I hope this helps.

No. It will only grind the grain. There are no rolling mechanisms to do that. I disagree with Patrick. This is just a grinding mill. It will grind the oat groats but you would probably end up with mush when you cooked the oatmeal.

Yes, it does a good job, but make sure that you keep an eye on how fine you wish to chop/grind them! It's a personal choice.Hope this helps.

Kind of, I was hoping..the grind is really good but the static can drive you crazy. If you find something that works, let me know. You really need to clean it out with each use.

Yes - I use it to grind all sorts of things to make Ezekiel bread - chick peas, lentils, quinoa, millot, etc. Works great!

Mine doesn't grind at all -- works like a charm. The blade made it through quite a few cuts before I finally started seeing uneven cuts and chips.

Yes! Works great with one issue. We have the little brown/greed/red plastic ones. (Not metal) They do give you one of theirs though (a little better design too). The issue is that this grinder always grinds too much, even on setting "1". So you have to stop it manually after 5/6 seconds. If you don't mind that, it's a lot easier than refilling those from a bag.

It should do fine grinding grains/seeds that aren't wet or oily. I use mine to grind millet and it works fine.

I used it to grind whole black peppercorns and it worked well. It grinds well, the only thing is that you cannot really adjust the grinder to have fine grind. Hope this helps :)

Yes, it does a good job. I bought the grinder primarily for spices. I grind cumin and cardamon seeds regularly and always get the desired result.

As far as I know it should work for any type of grind. All you can do is try then and see which you like better
