Flour Mills & Grain Flakers
Flour mills and grain flakers for making fresh wholemeal flour, coarse meal and cereal flakes at home. Choose from electric mills, manual mills and mixer attachments for bread baking, porridge, muesli and wholegrain cooking.
Choosing a flour mill or grain flaker
Milling your own flour gives you fresh flavour, aroma and control over the grains you use. A home flour mill lets you make flour when you need it, from fine wholemeal flour for bread to coarser meal for more rustic baking.
Grain flakers sit naturally alongside flour mills. Instead of grinding grain into flour, they roll oats and other suitable grains into fresh flakes for porridge, muesli, bread toppings and baking. If you enjoy using whole grains, both mills and flakers can earn their place in the kitchen.
Electric mills, attachments and flakers
Electric stone mills are the most convenient option for regular home milling, especially if you bake bread often. Mixer attachments can be a compact alternative if you already own a compatible machine, while flakers are best for freshly rolled oats and cereal flakes rather than flour.
Freshly milled flour in baking
Freshly milled flour can behave differently from bagged flour, especially in bread and sourdough. It often brings more flavour and character, and may absorb water differently depending on the grain, the fineness of the grind and how much bran is retained.
What can you mill or flake?
Most domestic flour mills are designed for dry grains such as wheat, rye, spelt, rice, millet and maize. Grain flakers are usually used for oats and other suitable dry cereals. Always check the manufacturer’s guidance before milling or flaking anything oily, such as nuts or seeds, as these can clog or damage some machines.
