I am delighted with this little machine. It works well and gets the job done. If you want fine flour similar to store bought, I recommend skipping the 60 mesh and using the 80 mesh instead. First sift with the 40 mesh to get rid of large pieces of bran followed by 80 mesh. I put in 10 cups of home ground wheat, sifted for 10 minutes with 40 mesh. Ended up with about 7 cups of flour. Then sifted this through the 80 mesh for 20 minutes. Final amount was 3.2 cups of fine flour. I left the lid off while sifting. I used a flat plastic spatula to spread the flour from time to time as it was sifting. Otherwise it bunches up in one spot. Now, what to do with all the left over bran?
