1. What touches the flour 40% of the rating 4 of 5

   Solid beech, beeswax balm, a stainless crank and stones whose binder is named, with no plastic named. The funnel, the bowl material in Kornkraft’s own listing and the bearing lubricant are not stated.

2. Grinding 15% of the rating 3 of 5

   Stepless from muesli grind to flour with a scale for repeat settings, about 50 g of fine flour a minute and a 350 g hopper by the maker. We found no independent test or owner report.

1. Housing: solid beech from German forestry, finished with Auro beeswax balm.
2. Stones: Naxos basalt in salt-magnesite binding, a self-centering cone; 85 mm across per the US seller.
3. Crank: stainless steel (US seller) with a wooden knob on a sliding bearing.
4. Stone axle: ball bearings. The lubricant is not named.
5. Funnel: a wide funnel on the wooden body. Material not stated.
6. Bowl: supplied with the mill, material not stated by Kornkraft. The US seller’s glass-bowl version includes a glass catch bowl.
7. Table clamps (two) and felt feet: materials not stated.

What are the stones made of, and what binds them?

Kornkraft’s product page (opens in a new tab) says Naxos basalt in a salt-magnesite binding and calls the self-centering cone a mechanism of natural materials that works almost residue-free. Most of the mills we reviewed do not name the binder. We found no wear or grit test for it, and a PubMed search (opens in a new tab) for studies of stone wear in flour returned no results on 23 Oct 2026.

Is the bowl glass?

Kornkraft says a bowl comes with the mill and that it fits the cutout in the base, but not what it is made of. The US seller, Loewen META (opens in a new tab), lists a glass-bowl version at $329.50 and a no-bowl version at $319.50. Buy the glass one.

Does the 10-year guarantee cover US buyers?

No, on the maker’s own terms. Kornkraft’s warranty statement (opens in a new tab) says the guarantee covers Germany and the European Union, and its shipping page (opens in a new tab) lists only Germany and Austria. Loewen META gives a 2-year dealer guarantee on everything it sells, per its warranty page (opens in a new tab). Happy Mills, another US dealer, prints “10 years warranty” on its Mia Mola page, but its returns policy (opens in a new tab) passes warranty claims after 30 days to the maker under the maker’s own terms, which are Germany and the EU.

How much cranking is it, and what can it grind?

Kornkraft says about 50 g of fine flour a minute and 100 g coarse, so a kilogram of fine flour takes roughly 20 minutes. It says all grains, oilseeds only mixed with grain; the US seller says all grains except corn. We found no owner reports of its output in the Reddit archive we searched on 23 Oct 2026.

Does anyone pay reviewers to promote it?

We found no affiliate program on kornkraft.de or on Loewen META’s home page, and almost no English-language discussion of the brand, so there is little to check. One Reddit commenter, who is not an owner, calls Kornkraft a good brand (opens in a new tab).

• Kornkraft names the stone and its bond: “Naxosbasalt in Magnesit-Salz-Bindung” (Naxos basalt in magnesite-salt binding). The US seller lists the stones as 85 mm across. Naming the binder is what the category asks for.
• The output is stated: about 50 g a minute of fine flour and 100 g a minute coarse, from a 350 g hopper (Kornkraft).
• The housing is solid beech from German forestry, finished with Auro beeswax balm. The stone axle runs on ball bearings and felt feet protect the counter (Kornkraft).
• A 10-year guarantee on all goods, with the claim process stated (Kornkraft’s warranty statement). Kornkraft sells spare parts.

• The warranty statement covers “the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany and the European Union”, and Kornkraft’s shipping page lists only Germany and Austria. US buyers go through Loewen META, whose own policy page gives 2 years.
• Kornkraft’s page says a bowl is supplied but not what it is made of. Loewen META sells the mill with or without a glass bowl, so buy the glass one.
• We found no wear or grit test for any of the stones we reviewed, magnesite-bound or ceramic-bound, so the binder is a question we can name but not answer.
• It is a hand mill. At 50 g a minute, 1 kg of fine flour takes about 20 minutes of cranking, and we found no independent owner report of its output.
