Estrella Cast Iron Manual Crank Corn Grain Grinder 14" Tall & 5" Hopper

I am happily impressed. Made in Colombia, not China. The plates align well. Large pad for clamping underneath table. Beautiful enameled finish, nicely boxed. Have not had a chance to put it through all its paces over time, but it does grind well. The hopper is only 5", but it still holds a sizeable amount, and unlike other brands, there were no dents in the hopper: smooth and professional. Someone took some time here to do a nice job on the design details. All in all, a real bargain and an aesthetic pleasure at the price.A few suggestions:Add a rubber pad under the feet for clamping. Even while tightly clamped, it tends to slide on the table top, due to the smooth enamel finish.Add a splash guard over the top of the grinding plates so material doesn't splatter out the top.

Excellent corn grinder and heavy duty construction. Does not use ball or needle bearings, is metal to metal shaft through case. I set it at a wide setting and turned deer corn into coarse cracked corn for my wild bird mix. Set it to the tightest (fine grind) setting and after three times through the grinder made cornmeal. This is not a flour grinder, so set your expectations accordingly. As mentioned in another review the metal base does not sit flat on the counter top. Can put shims under ears and is solid as a rock. Will probably take an angle grinder and flatten it out - not a deal breaker.

This grinder is easy to use; it is my first grinder and it works great for making flour; I have used it for making steel cut oats and it grinds as well and fine as the steel cut oats you buy at the store. Great for grinding flour for bread. It is very solidly made-of cast iron. Price is amazing! It shipped fast and was packaged very well.

Works pretty well. The grinding plate came warped so its not perfect. It takes many passes to get corn fine enough to be masa. All things considered it does the job, but the warp definitely adds time to the job as larger grains make it through. It has a learning curve, but is definitely usable for the price.

Me gusto el envio y q si es lo que pedi

Muy bueno el molino me sirve mucho

Not very impressed. I've been cycling through for over an hour, not getting that fine flour I'm trying to achieve.

It works well, reminds me of my childhood
