What the numbers mean

Motor. 250–360 W mills are the household standard and handle wheat, spelt, rye, rice, dehulled oats and dry corn. 550–750 W mills grind faster and have more reserve for hard maize and big batches. Output is quoted on the finest setting, so coarse settings are several times faster. Stones. Corundum-ceramic stones are self-sharpening and tolerant. Natural granite or other natural stones (Osttiroler, Salzburger) are prized by some bakers for flour texture, are heavier and are usually reground rather than replaced. Hopper matters only for convenience: a hopper smaller than your usual bake means one refill.
