The Mio, with its strong and efficient 250 watt motor produces 5-6 ounces of flour per minute for bread flour texture. Its hopper holds 2 lb., 11 oz. of grain.
The KoMo Mio Eco will grind soft or hard wheat, oat groats (dehulled oats), rice, triticale, khorasan, spelt, buckwheat, barley, rye, millet, teff, quinoa, amaranth, and sorghum. It will also grind lentils, most dry beans (pinto, red, kidney & more), and dried, non-oily spices. It isn't suitable for garbanzo beans (chickpeas), oilseeds like flax or sesame, coffee beans, sugar, cinnamon sticks, or popcorn.
Dent (field) corn and soybeans can be ground to any texture from cracked to meal to very fine flour. For these very large-kerneled grains, grind first with the stones opened widely to produce cracked grain, then a second time if you want flour. The KoMo Mio Eco grinds oats to a wonderfully soft, fine textured flour, but open the stones about five clicks wider than you would for a hard grain like wheat, otherwise the soft oat flour will fill the stones' furrows and infeed will stop. Opening the stones farther will give you a cereal grind for porridge, or coarser yet for cracked oats, similar to steel-cut.
Range of Grind Texture
Grind texture is continuously adjustable from super fine flour to coarse meal and cracked grain, simply by turning the hopper bowl to align its index mark with the graphic scale on the front of the mill. Cleanup is minimal and easy, and access to the milling chamber takes only a moment, requiring no tools.
The 100% cork hopper is the defining feature of this model, both in design and functionality. Did you know that cork is able to be extracted from the bark of the cork oak tree without cutting down the tree? It is also biodegradable and can be reused, making it an incredibly sustainable material long term. Another advantage of cork is its natural cushioning ability, as it reduces the noise and vibrations that can occur when processing grain. It is also naturally antibacterial and mildew resistant, which is an added bonus when processing food.
The KomoMio Eco is the perfect choice for environmentally friendly power consumption while providing you with freshly ground flour every day.
