Buy the Marga Mulino Grain Flaker
Sadly, production of the Marga Mulino All-Steel Grain Flaker never resumed after the Covid-19 pandemic (see below*). Replicas of inferior quality, produced with aluminum rollers, are still being marketed. However, replacement parts for the Marga Mulino are still available HERE.
*Alternatively, we offer this potential solution:
An oat roller such as the Marga Mulino simply rolls the oats between two knurled rollers, flattening the grain. A roller/flaker is not a grinder, which crushes or tears the grain, reducing it into smaller particles or powder.
The Corona® Mill is a simple grinder using two cast-iron grinding burrs to grind any grain, bean, or nut which is passed through the mill. The grind can be adjusted from coarse to fine and can make anything from cracked corn or corn meal/wheat meal to grist-style flour.
Both processes, however, break through the tough, outer bran layer and increase the surface area, effectively allowing it to cook more quickly; however one grinds, the other flattens.
Using The Corona® Mill on a coarse setting, you may crack grains to make a “cream of oats” cereal as a substitute for traditional oatmeal. Additionally, you can easily make other fresh-cracked grain cereals: muesli, cream of rice, cream of wheat, and fresh grits with either white or yellow dent (hard) corn.
We recommend those who want a quality machine and/or share our concern regarding ingestion of aluminum impurities consider adjusting to this alternate form of delicious, nutritious oats. Yum! The Corona® Mill: Grind Anything!℠
