The Nutrimill Plus is made by L’Chef. It’s a an impact mill, which means that there are two wheels on the interior of the mill but only one turns when grinding the wheat. The two wheels fit tightly enough together that the grain is crushed when it’s fed through.
Feed Rate
You can control the rate at which grain is feed through the mill. Most of the time the slower you feed the grain in the finner a grain you’ll get as long as you keep the motor on high. The faster the grain is feed through the grinder the courser your flour will be.
Motor Speed
The feed rate and motor speed work inverse to each other. In other words, you’ll need a slow feed rate and a high motor speed to get fine flour and to get course flour you’ll need a high feed rate and a slower motor speed.
Special Instructions
Do not leave grain in your mill
You don’t need to turn the Nutrimill on before you start grinding your flour, but you do need to let it run for about 5 seconds after the grain is finished. Do not store your mill with grain inside. You never want to store any appliance with food in it. Also, always thoroughly wash and clean your grain mill to make certain there’s no grain left in the mill.
Grain Suppressor
The Nutrimill comes with a grain suppressor that you can take off if you want to grind larger grains or beans.
Filter
The Nutrimill Plus requires an air filter. Alway make sure it’s completely dry and clean before each use. Also, to clean make sure you remove as much dry flour as possible. I you don’t the flour might clump in the filter.
Grains
Make sure your grains are dry and free of debris. Sometimes when you buy grain or bean in bulk there might be a stray rock that accidentally fell in during harvesting. You definitely want to make certain there’s no rocks or anything in your grain otherwise it could destroy the wheels.

Final Thoughts
Nutrimills are going to be noisy but they get the job done and they are work horses!
You can mill 24 cups of flour at one time, which is perfect for milling in bulk. With the Nutrimill Plus the new two speed motor allows a wider range of texture control.
The flour bagger attachment for the classic hold 20 cups of flour, and the bag for the Nutrimill Plus is a bit bigger to fit inside the 24 cup capacity canister.
At the time of this posting the Nutrimill Plus is actually cheaper than the Nutrimill Classic. So to me the choice between the two is clear.
