What is the grain revolution?
The grain revolution is a simple thing.
In order to make flour that can sit in bags in shipping containers, warehouses, and on grocery store shelves for months without going rancid, the industrial food complex has to remove everything that gives grain its unique flavor and nutritional value, turning it into a generic, white, starch powder made from hybridized wheat bred solely for high sugar content. We think this is bad.
We’re all about doing the exact opposite of that. We make affordable, high quality countertop grain mills to empower everyone to easily mill incomparably flavorful, nutritionally superior whole grain flour, fresh at home from the entire cornucopia of grain varieties that are available.
The grain revolution is choice. The grain revolution is flavor. The grain revolution is health and nutrition. The grain revolution is here.
Why mill your own flour?
“…our relationship to bread has changed in America, in the past half century, as our food systems have changed. What once was the product of a field, a mill, and a hearth (or at least a local bakery) became anonymously mass-produced and wrapped in plastic—our wheat is different now, our flour is bleached and stripped. What once was a complex and foundational food became little more than a simple source of sugar, cheap and filling, virtually empty of nourishment. But the pendulum is swinging back—bread is trendy now, which, as trends go, is both beautiful and disarming, kind of like water being the hot new drink. Still, for all its dissonance, this bodes well: the rich, kneaded, crusty, tender staple is on its way back from Wonder Bread limbo, embraced by home bakers, restaurateurs, and science-minded hobbyists entranced by the mesmerizing intricacies of sourdough culture.”

Why Mockmill?
What they said
We stand behind what we build
We’re quite seriously passionate about making home-milled whole grain flour available to everyone. We’ve been on this mission for over 40 years.
Mockmills are engineered and manufactured in Germany by Wolfgang Mock GmbH. Every new mill from Wolfgang Mock is the product of thousands of hours of thought, drafting, prototyping, trials, testing and retesting.
All our mills use our own custom, precision engineered, corundum-ceramic milling stones. They are self-sharpening, almost as hard as diamonds, and, treated reasonably, they will last longer than we know how to count. The electric motors in our mills use the highest quality components and have been engineered to run smoothly, quietly, and to provide a long, maintenance-free life.
Every standard Mockmill comes with a factory 6-year warranty on material and manufacturing defects for private use. Professional models carry a 12-year warranty for private use and 2-year warranty for commercial use. We will repair or replace a defective Mockmill within the warranty period.
