The Country Living Grain Mill is the best hand-powered mill we know of. It's a solidly built, high-quality precision machine that's designed to last nearly forever. The Country Living Grain Mill is for those who want the best available speed, grind quality, durability, and long life in a simple, easy-to-use mill that doesn't depend on electricity.
Check out these features:
Many folks feel the Country Living Mill is better than the Diamant, a well-known Danish-made mill that sells for over 3 times the price (as of 2009). (We address this issue here not to run down the Diamant, but because so many folks ask us how they compare.) We know of two reasons why it's better: (1) the Diamant uses teflon sleeve bearings, whereas the Country Living uses sealed ball bearings, which are more durable and longer lasting; and (2) the Diamant uses cast iron grinding burrs, which are good, but wear faster than Country Living's high-carbon steel burrs. Country Living used to use cast iron burrs, but switched to high-carbon steel for better durability and consistency, even though the production cost is higher than cast iron.
We're occasionally asked if the Country Living Mill will make peanut butter. The manufacturer says it will make "crunchy" peanut butter, but it makes a gooey mess that's difficult to clean up, so they don't recommend it. But we've talked to folks who regularly make peanut butter and are happy with the results. We've never tried it ourselves, so that's about all we know about it.
In our tests, the Country Living Grain Mill ground just under one cup of fine flour per minute (4.5 cups in 4.75 minutes). It takes considerable effort to maintain this speed, and you will work up a sweat. It's not possible to grind this fast using the Power Bar.

Corn & Bean AugerRequired to grind anything much larger than wheat: corn, beans, nuts, coffee, etc. Helps feed things into the grinding plates if they're too big and/or oily to go in well by themselves. Cast stainless steel. Easy to install; can be left in place when grinding wheat or other small grains. $32 | with mill purchase BUY NOW $37

Power BarReduces grinding effort by 40%. Steel extension attaches quickly and easily to the flywheel to make grinding easier (but slower). Manufacturer recommends it for children & elderly. We find its application much broader than that, but it's hard to predict who will need it and who won't. In general, women are likely to need it unless they're used to a fairly high level of physical activity; men are less likely to need it. It'll slow you down because your arms have to make a larger circle when you turn the mill. $18 | with mill purchase BUY NOW $26

Notes
The Country Living Grain Mill must be clamped or bolted to a
counter or sturdy table before use. The easiest way to do this is a couple 3"
C-clamps, using small pieces of wood (2" pieces of 1x2 work well) to protect
the mill's finish. You can also drill your mounting surface and bolt it down
using the holes in the mill's base.
