What types of cereals can be milled using the Astreia mill? 29 August 2024

The Astreia stone mill is an unchanged version of the invention by Pierre and André Astrié, who invented the mill we know today as the ‘Astrié Mill’. We are regularly asked what types of cereals or seeds can be ground using the Astreia Mill.

What types of cereals can be milled using the Astreia mill?

You can overwrite :

  • soft wheat
  • durum wheat
  • rye
  • Buckwheat
  • barley
  • maize
  • ….

The cereal must be dry enough to be crushed.

What about chestnut flour?

Dried and ground chestnuts can be used to make excellent flour in the stone mill we have designed.

One cereal, several flours? Yes !

Our mill comes with a sieve that allows you to obtain T80 flour of the ‘farine bise’ type. You can also choose to have several sieves to obtain different flours.

Here are the different sieves we offer:

  • 300µ sieve (T80 equivalent), supplied with your Astréia mill
  • Optional 470µ sieve (T110 equivalent)
  • Optional 600µ sieve (T130 equivalent)

How do I change the sieve on the Astréia flour mill?

All you have to do is lift the sieve and replace it with an extra sieve of the same size, but with a different mesh.
