I got this grain mill to grind wheat for break making (1-2 loaves per week). But, it is too physically demanding and time consuming to make it practical for this purpose. I feel this was poorly advertised as I was led to believe this grain mill would be a good option. I was quite disappointed.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the MANUS 1 wasn’t the right fit for you.
The MANUS 1 is a classic hand-operated grain mill with around 80 revolutions per minute, producing approximately 30 g of fine flour per minute.
In comparison, an electric mill like the Schnitzer Vario runs at about 1,250 RPM – roughly 15 times faster in terms of rotation, but it produces only around 3–4 times more flour (approximately 110 g per minute).
This is because flour output does not increase proportionally with RPM – factors like feed rate, desired fineness, and mill design also play a major role.
If you need to grind larger quantities quickly and often, an electric mill is definitely the better choice.
However, the MANUS 1 is perfect for smaller batches, off-grid use, and for those who value a conscious, hands-on milling experience.
As of now, we have six five-star reviews, highlighting the MANUS 1’s quality, everyday usability, and versatility – whether for van life, chapati, or coarse grinding.
And of course: If the mill doesn’t suit your needs, you’re welcome to return it within 30 days.
Thank you again for your honest feedback – it helps others make informed decisions.

I was looking for a high quality thermometer/hygrometer for my new sauna and came across the Fischer brand. I did some research on it knew this was the one for me. I bought the larger 6” size and I’m glad I did. I love the larger size as it’s easy to read and it looks great it my sauna. As for the functionality of it I love how it’s working so far and that it does all I need it to do and It’s very accurate. German made and it shows! If you’re looking for a high quality thermometer/ hygrometer spend more and get the best!
