Hawos B002 Billy 200 Grinder, 1.5 Kg, 600 W, Wood

When the Covid pandemic hit I thought it would be the right time to learn how to do stuff and a home mill as on the "to do" list for a while. After quite a bit of reading and researching online I settled for Hawos B002 Billy 200 as it does grind using stones and it is powerful enough for home or artisanal use. It works like a dream: the setup was easy (make sure you remove the transport screws that secure the mechanism during shipping!) and the instructions were fool proof. The lever that sets the course to fine is easy to operate as well (we tend to use it on fine). Make sure you get a decent sieve so you can separate the bran (if you are making white wheat flour). There is nothing more satisfying then milling your own flour when you need it; also for sourdough starter you can do it a LOT easier with freshly milled flour versus the supermarket bleached and processed flour (hint: it does not work with supermarket flour). Get one, it will put a smile on your face and help you eat healthier, less processed food.

A fantastic bit of kit. We are delighted with it and have enjoyed making bread with freshly milled wheat straight from the farm. Just about zero food miles in our loaf!

Outstanding performance and heavy duty.. This is my third machine as I run a small bakery shop.
