Bosch MUZ 4 GM3 Grain Mill with Steel Grinder Cone

I've had this for a couple days now and have gone through a few cups of grain. This mill does the job for a budget price. My wife and I wanted to start making bread, but we didn't have the money to drop on the Bosch Universal with the Nutrimill (All said, around $750ish). So combined with the Bosch Compact Mixer and the grain mill (~$250), you can start making your own bread with a much smaller cost of entry. We have made around 10 loaves with the ground hard red spring wheat flour we've made from this, and it is delicious.

Now the down side, this mill is slow. I just timed it to see how long it would take to grind 3 cups of HARD RED SPRING WHEAT on its finest setting. It took almost 40 minutes exactly, and produced a fraction shy of 5 cups of flour (probably closer 4 3/4 Cups). That means that it takes 8 MINUTES TO PRODUCE ONE CUP OF USABLE FLOUR. That's a long time, especially when you consider that it's also very loud - about as loud as a typical vacuum...Read more

I just bought this. I'm disappointed I can't use it for bread and yet don't want to take a chance in breaking it as the other member did trying to make bread flour.

So with that in mind, does anyone have this who can suggest other uses? What kinds of grains can you mill in it to make hot cereals?? any specific recipes, etc? Any information would be appreciated (specific grains, what settings to put mill on, recipes, etc), as it's something I've never done before.

As it is, maybe twice a year I'll grind up some dried mushrooms to put in mashed potatoes. I hope I didn't just spend good money unnecessarily to do so however.
