Moulin à grains

Moulin à grains is a grain mill, the sort of tool used for turning cereal grains into flour, meal, or coarse grist at home or in a small workshop. By our assessment, its real strength is control: it lets a person decide whether the result should be fine for baking or rougher for porridge and rustic breads. The trade-off is upkeep, because mills need cleaning, attention to hardness and moisture, and enough effort or power to keep them working well. In practice it is a patient, mechanical job rather than a quick kitchen trick; the feel of it is more workshop than countertop gadget. It sits far from a cheap spice grinder and closer to serious home milling equipment, with a narrower purpose but a much more honest one. Moulin à grains suits people who actually use whole grains and want fresh texture, not anyone looking for an all-purpose appliance.
