What materials can be crushed?
Oat, rye, wheat, buckwheat, millet, barley, spelt, unripe
spelt grain, rice, sesame, ax seeds, poppy seeds as well
as spices such as caraway seeds, pepper or fennel. This
is only a small choice, this list is continuously extended
and its latest version can always be found under www.
komo.bio.
Flakes
• The akes need to be well puried, otherwise
it might result in damages of the device by
impurities such as e.g. stones.
• Fresh oat akes should be immediately
consumed, since they rapidly
loose valuable nutrients when storing them and
might taste bitter.
• We recommend oat without spelt (non-hulled oat) for
aking.
• Briey moisten other grain varieties in a
strainer, let them dry for a few hours and then
ake them. Otherwise they would crumble
when aking them and they will be more digestible
after leaving them to soak.

General operation of the mills
What materials can be ground?
Wheat, oat, spelt, buckwheat, rice, barley, millet, unripe
spelt grain, corn, coee, lots of spices such as caraway
seeds, pepper, coriander, anise or fennel. This is only a
small choice, this list is continuously extended and its
latest version can always be found under www.komo.
bio.
Grist
• The grist needs to be well puried, otherwise
it might result in damages of the device by
impurities such as e.g. stones.
• Grind your our only once, it is not possible to increase
the neness by grinding it several times, but the
millstones would smear.
• Always keep your grist in a dry place. If the grist is too
humid, either place it in a linen bag beside the heater
for a longer time or put it on a baking tray in the oven at
50° C for half an hour.
TIP: Test the humidity by crushing one corn
with a spoon on a smooth surface. If the corn
cracks, it is dry enough. If it crushes like an oat
ake it is too humid.
• To avoid moths and insects when you do not use the
mill, you can put a tea bag with herbal tea or laurel leafs
into the outlet or into the milling chamber.
• In particular when grinding hard corn such as rice
or maize, put the grist into the funnel while the mill is
switched on and do not interrupt the grinding process.
• The drier the grist, the ner is the ground product and
the cooler is the our.

Easy to prepare wholemeal bread
Preparation for a loaf of bread:
1 packet of dry yeast
1⁄2 teaspoon of honey
500 ml lukewarm water
350 g spelt
150 g rye
2 teaspoon of sea salt
2 tablespoon cider vinegar
75 g mixed seeds (sunower seeds, sesame, ax seeds,
poppy seeds, pumpkin seeds)
1⁄4 teaspoon each ground coriander, caraway seed and
fennel
Liquidate the dry yeast and honey in half of the
lukewarm water. Allow to swell for about 10 minutes.
Fine grind spelt and rye in the grain mill, mix with salt
cider vinegar, the seeds and spices in a bowl. Add the
yeast mixture as well as the remaining water and mix
the whole thing to a gooey dough. Do not leave the
dough to stand, but immediately ll it into a greased
loaf pen spread with sesame. Put the bread in the cold
oven and bake it at 200 °C (hot air 180 °C) for about 75
minutes. Remove the bread crust with a knife from the
mould and allow it to cool down on a cooling rack.
Try out the following recipes
Preparation time: about 20 minutes preparation and
about 75 minutes baking time.
Tip: Since the dough does not need to rise, the proper
preparation time is quite short. Therefore, the recipe is
also suitable for children and adults who do not have
much time.
The result is a fragrant seed bread which would taste
delicious when it is buttered.
