Komo Duett Grain Mill, Duet 200

A perfect all-around grain milling solution, the KoMo Duett provides both freshly ground flour and flaked grains. Its beautiful cabinet, constructed of solid beechwood and furniture grade beech veneer, contains separate motors that allow you to grind and flake simultaneously or independently. Included with the KoMo Duett is a handmade ceramic bowl with a cool, smooth surface that complements the mill’s warm finish. The Austrian-made KoMo Duett lets you start the day with delicious fresh flakes in the morning, make fine flour at midday for an afternoon cake, and crush poppy seeds for both. It’s offered in a choice of models, the Duett 100 and the Duett 200. The two share the same flaker, but on the grinder side the 200 model features an extra large motor for high speed flour output. The cabinets and hoppers of the two models are identical. These grains are normally dry and hard. To soften them, hold them under running water briefly in a strainer. Then spread the grains on a cloth or towel to let them dry over night or for at least 3-4 hours. This time will vary depending on the grain used, but a little experimentation will help optimize the process. The softened grain will flatten nicely into flakes, similar to commercially available rolled oats. At the same time this contact with water starts an enzymatic process which makes it easier for your metabolism to assimilate the minerals in the grain.
