Eric meets his idol, Wolfgang Mock, in Chicago

Numerous patents and close cooperation with suppliers led to the invention of the self-sharpening Corundum grinding stones used in Wolfgang Mock’s grain mills. Highest quality standards paired with European artisan manufacturing deliver a superior product with outstanding design and craftsmanship and a 2 year warranty. The Mockmill represents the sum of 30 years experience and innovation by Wolfgang Mock.

Particulars: The Mockmill will grind from coarse to very fine and will handle all wheat grains and non oily grains, medium sized beans, corn and non oily spices. Corn (aka field or dent corn) is probably about as large a grain as you’d want to feed it. When set at the finest milling setting, the flour feels as fine as what you get at the finest setting on the higher end KoMo mills.

At full speed the mill will operate at about 70% of the output of the KoMo Fidibus mill which puts it at about 2.4 ounces/minute. Also at full speed, it will not heat the flour to more than about 105 degrees Fahrenheit, well below the level where flour can be damaged.

The stones are self sharpening and designed to last for decades. It’s easy to disassemble for cleaning if needed. When tasked with “killing” (burning out) the standard size KitchenAid mixers, Mockmill engineers were unable to so. The mill is specifically designed not to put excessive load on the mixer. Even milling nearly 50 lbs of grain continuously over a 6 hour span resulted in only a few degrees above normal rise in temperature of the KitchenAid mixer.

Fits KitchenAid* and AEG models in the U.S. Mixer not included.
*Does not fit the KitchenAid Artisan Mini (200w) mixer.

Mockmill Grain Mill Attachment For Stand Mixers

    I use this on my 5 quart bowl lift Kitchen Aid stand mixer. The grind isn’t as fine as what you buy in the store but with a little sifting, you can almost get there. I purchased this due to space constraints created by a free standing mill. I plan to buy store bought unbleached bread flour for the bulk of my recipe and grind the whole wheat berries to supplement.

    I love this attachment for my Kitchen Aid. I make 100% Einkorn bread. At the beginning of the pandemic, I was not able to find milled Einkorn flour. I was however able to get Einkorn wheat berries. I purchased a dry container for my Vitamix . When the Mockmill Attachment for the Stand Mixer came back into stock I purchased it. It makes much finer flour. I am extremely happy with my purchase. I have been using it for about 6 months now. I have an Artisan Kitchen Aid and the Mockmill Attachment works great on it. I highly recommend it.

    I have been using the attachment for a couple of months. I grind flour from hard red winter wheat berries at least three times a week. I use a KitchenAid Professional 600 (after burning an Artisan out several years ago). Each time I grind 9oz. It takes 2min. 57sec. from start to finish. The flour warms up a little bit. I start with room temperature berries.The mixer does not show any appreciable warming. I grind once, turning the adjustment as fine as I can get. After using the first several times, the stones seemed to adjust a bit to allow a finer grind. No finer grind is necessary for the 50/50 wheat sourdough I make. I also make pasta using hard Turkey Red, 100%, as fine as I can. Seems to be fine enough. I wonder if the issue with speed and heating has to do with the mixer power? It would be interesting to have more input from folks who use different types of mixer to see how their experience correlates.

    Updated review on my Mockmill attachment: After talking to the great customer service people at Mockmill, they gave me a few tips to help manage my KitchenAid heating. They recommended running grains through on a course grind to break them up a bit, and then running through again to grind for flour. Now my stand mixer still gets pretty warm, but it’s better. They also said the flour will come out warm, and that’s just a product of friction in milling.

    I still think it grinds pretty slowly. I know grinding finer flour for baking is going to take longer than cracking grains for a hot cereal, but others described milling like something that was done in about the time it took to set up their mise en place. It took me about 20min to mill 8oz of wheat for a batch of muffins. Again, this is not a lot of wheat. I really hope I’m not looking at 45min of milling/stand mixer stress for the amount of wheat needed for bread. It could just be this little attachment is too small for my needs, but as hobby baker (~2 loaves of bread on most weekends, and some dessert baking sprinkled in) I don’t think that’s the case. And considering my mixer still heats up, I don’t feel comfortable just walking away and doing something else in that time, so I just hover over it.

    However, I absolutely love everything I’ve made from the fresh milled flour. I updated my review from 2 to 3 stars. Of course it’s the only mill I’ve tried, but the stress on my stand mixer, combined with the slow performance (compared to what is stated in the manual) make me thing this mill is just ok. It could be I’m still not using this thing correctly, and if anyone has tips I’m happy to hear them. But in the meantime I think I would have done better spending more money for a stand-alone mill.

    I purchased the Mockmill stand mixer attachment from this site, after reading glowing reviews pretty much everywhere. This is my first foray into milling my own flour, so I don’t have a basis of comparison. But from what I’ve read, the Mockmill mixer attachment is supposed to be manageable for a stand mixer (I have a KitchenAid Artisan series, 5qt capacity), and the flour should come out at whatever temperature the grains went in. I’ve only used it a couple of times, but the mill attachment heats up my stand mixer very quickly, and the flour comes out warm.

    Now I haven’t pushed it very far to see where exactly my stand mixers thermal protection kicks in, but I can barely mill 400g wheat on the finest settings before I start to worry about my stand mixer getting hot to the touch. 400g is about enough for one loaf of bread, so this is hardly a huge output. It also takes much longer than I thought to mill even that small amount – granted, I’m keeping my mixer’s speed between 2-4 because I’m worried about the engine. As a result of my mixer getting too hot, the attachment heats up, and the flour comes out warm.

    The flour itself is fine enough, a little bit more course than commercial flour but I haven’t bothered to sift anything. I made pancakes my first useable batch of flour and they were delicious, no gritty bran texture at all. But I’m just worried about my poor mixer. Before this, the only time it’s gotten hot is when I messed up a batch of marshmallow that was too thick to whisk properly. Otherwise I use my mixer for bread doughs, whisking all sorts of things, etc., without it even getting warm. I’d love to know how other people’s mixers handle this mill.

    I have been using the Mockmill for several months now. While I grind grains at varying coarseness, I bought it specifically for grinding rye for traditional Scandinavian breads that use rye at different levels of coarseness. It works beautifully. Of course, no surprise to bread bakers, I no longer buy flour and grind own! I also learned that freshly sifted bran makes amazingly delicious bran muffins! I ordered several buckets and lids from Breadtopia that now contain my grains. I selected the Mockmill over the Komo because the Mockmill takes no counter space and is safely tucked away until I need it.

    I received the Mockmill for Christmas. I have used it a couple of times now. I own a Hobart N-50, and because I follow Tartine bakery recipe, I only do stretch and fold, so my beautiful Hobart stays mostly in the cupboard…the Mockmill fits on it as it would a kitchenaid, however, the flour collar falls short of the bowl. I’m not sure if the neck of the Hobart is longer than a kitchenaid, but in any case, I just hold the bowl under the collar so the flour doesn’t go all over the place. It is very efficient in grinding, and doesn’t seem to retain much of anything between the stones. I measured 360 grams wheat berries, and after grinding I got 359 grams! Without sifting, the flour is pretty fine, perfect for bread making. I love the fact that I have something new for my Hobart to do!

    Grinds nice flour, easy to disassemble to clean the stones if needed, easy to store, and gives another use for my Kitchenaid mixer since I don’t use it as much anymore since switching to stretch and fold kneading. I don’t have any experience with any other mills, but this one gives me no reason to look at another. So far I’ve ground wheat berries and brown rice- both work well with this mill. My only small hesitation about the mill is that the housing is plastic and I’m a little worried that someday it might crack if taking apart to clean- however, I don’t expect that to happen anytime soon and expect this mill to last many years. It is very cool to open up the housing and see real stones inside! I have an older Kitchenaid and haven’t had any problems at all with overheating- there seems to be no extra stress on the mixer at all. Very happy with this mill!

    I bought the Mockmill from this site. I am quite pleased. I have never used a mill before so I don’t have anything to compare it to. It is compact, which is great. It is loud, so I store ear protectors with it. I always grind on the finest setting and when I remember I chill the berries before grinding because it heats them (great suggestion from Eric on one of the videos). The grind is not uniform (I presume it isn’t with any mill), but I have made cornbread with milled flint corn and wheatberries, and and pancakes with milled wheatberries (1/3 hard red, 2/3 soft white), and they have been excellent. I didn’t sift. I view freshly milled flour as a new ingredient — different taste, different texture. If I were to attempt bread I would definitely sift the flour to remove the bran.

    The first unit I received was defective: it could not be disassembled. Breadtopia’s customer service was excellent and I received a new unit direct from Mockmill. That’s how customer service should work.

    I wanted to post a short review of the Mockmill and seeing as there are no other reviews posted here, it might be of interest to those of you considering purchasing one.

    Firstly, I did purchase my Mockmill from this site. I live in Canada and I was very surprised to receive it as promptly as I did; four days later I had it. I’ve ordered from Breadtopia on one other occasion and everything arrived as expected in a sturdy shipping box.

    The packaging the Mockmill comes is a high quality cardboard container, with glossy print on the outside similar to KA’s own attachments. The interior cardboard liner is straightforward and very easy to reinsert the Mockmill into it for storage after you are done with it. We keep the packaging for all of our KA attachments and store them in their boxes when not in use, so the interior cardboard layout is both sturdy and easy to use and re-use, so that’s a plus.

    The Mockmill itself is as you have seen in the video. Its casing is high quality and it has a pleasant solid heft to it. It looks solid and feels solid. Not a cheaply made device at all.

    Besides the main mill body, the package contains a plastic hopper and the metal flour collar which directs milled flour into the bowl of you KA. As you have seen in the video, the metal flour collar is spring steel and is held onto the body of the Mockmill just by the tension of the spring steel where two small divots in the Mockmill body meet two small raised bumps in the spring steel. If you were to do something stupid like deliberately bend your flour collar and mess up the tension of the spring steel, I suppose that could prove a problem. But through ordinary use, that shouldn’t happen.

    The only other piece in the package is a longer black handled attachment screw, I haven’t used it and continue to use the one my Artisan KA Stand-Mixer shipped with. The one included in the Mockmill package is longer. Perhaps that is of use with other KA Stand-Mixer model, but whatever the case, you don’t have to use the longer one — as long as you use *something*

    The Mockmill install into your KA Stand-Mixer like any other attachment. Align, insert, clamp it down by turning the black topped attachment screw. That’s it.

    As the video shows, there is no power button on the Mockmill itself and everything is controlled by the power lever on your stand-mixer. You can rotate the grind from coarse to fine, but I’ve left mine at the finest grind the Mockmill can grind to and I expect that for 99% of all use, that will be the default for all Mockmill users.

    I’ve now used the Mockmill four times, and I was pleased with the results. On its first use, I wanted to start small and get a feel for it. I was making baguettes (America’s Test Kitchen Recipe) and so decided to grind 1 1/3 ounces of whole wheat from Hard Red Wheat Berries. I used Bob’s Red Mill for the berries and it was easy to weigh out the berries, drop them in the hopper and turn on the KA to start the mill. It took no time at all really — much faster than I thought it would be. As the baguette recipe suggested to sift out the bran, I did so and examined what was left behind. In addition to the bran, perhaps 1g of flour was not milled finely enough to go through the 30 sift screen. I was quite content with the flour and the baguettes were great.

    I have since used it to mill Had Red Wheat Berries for a whole wheat sandwich loaf and pita bread – about 142g/1 cup each time. Today I used it to mill a cup of Spelt flour and a cup of Whole Wheat as well and I was *very* pleased with the results. Being able to mill spelt flour and try new whole grain mixes flour mixes is precisely why I got the Mockmill and it worked like a charm. I weighed out my wheat berries, poured them into the hopper and off it went. By my fourth use of the Mockmill., I was getting blasé about it and more concentrated on the appearance, texture and taste of my Sun Dried Tomato Rolls. (They were great!).

    Since I purchased the Mockmill I have bought Spelt, Oats, 10kg of Rye and 10kg more of local Hard Red Wheat Berries. I know my local grain store has another 11 or so non-organic whole grains for me to buy and try out and then start playing with different grain mixes for different products. I’ll get there soon enough.

    I am VERY pleased with my Mockmill purchase and at this point, I have to say that the Mockmill exceeds my expectations. It’s faster than I thought it would be, ease of use is VERY high and the product is solid. Most importantly, it’s given me a whole host of new options to try and I don’t have to worry about whole wheat and other flours going rancid before I use them.

    And that was the primary reason I wanted a grain mill. For me and my family, it wasn’t about health, or Omega 3 fatty acids, or a whole host of valid nutritional concerns. All of that’s fine and more power to you if that’s your motive. For me, however, it was about taste, new options and new baking opportunities while being able to buy whole grains I might not use all that often — while allowing me to store them and ensure they were fresh to use whenever I wanted to use them. Next week, next year or even three years from now. Whole grain flours go “off” and rancid rather quickly, but whole grains can be stored for years — even decades. For all that, something tells me I am going to be buying a lot more whole grains and I don’t see them lasting years in my grain containers, because this is too much fun!

    Bottom Line: the Mockmill works and it works WELL. It opens up vast options in your grain and flour selections and it’s fun to use. The product is very solid and mills a variety of finely ground flours right into the bowl of you KA stand-mixer very fast and ready to go. Buy with confidence.
