Well, folks, the votes are in about using the KitchenAid with its optional
grain mill attachment as an alternative to purchasing a standalone grain
mill. And the results are: KitchenAid = NO. See the two responses I
received from folks who have this combination and what results they've had,
and one from a person \ who has a Kitchen Aid for baking and the recommended
food mill for milling.

I have the kitchen-aid with food mill. It is fine as a mixer,
grater, and pasta maker. It is usless as a grain mill.

I have the smaller model Kitchenaid mixer. I bought the
grain mill attachment to make rice flour but it comes out very
grainy-almost like cream of rice cereal. I tried running it through
several times, but never came up with a small enough
grind for my taste. I would suggest buying the machine
recommended by CSA/USA instead. (I haven't bought one
yet but I plan to when I get back to the US.) By the way, I
love the mixer itself, just not using the grain mill for rice.
I also tried tapioca, which gummed up the mill.

I highly recommend a kitchen aid mixer for your baking needs, but I
imagine the grinder would nicely spread flour throughout your house. I
also have a mill (like advertised in CSA's Lifeline) and I absolutely
love it. The flour lands inside the closed container. I can buy cheap
rice at Costco and make flour any time I want.
