I love my Nutrimill Artiste! Her name is Amber - she makes such beautiful 'amber' loves of your sandwich bread recipe! She's an amazing addition to my kitchen. I was excited to buy her (at a ridiculously low price) from a gal who wasn't using her anymore. She came with the Baker's Pack of accessories and I couldn't have been more excited about that. Thanks for the review.
Main problem I had with this Artiste mixer was the dough hook that it comes with. Oh, it works fine -- but is made of an aluminum alloy, and that really bothers me. (The company doesn't really come out and tell you this, but that is the REASON they tell you not to wash it in the dishwasher -- because then it would start leaving black streaks in your dough.) Nutrimill HAS made a stainless steel dough hook that was made for the Bosch but ALSO fits in the Artiste (but not in the older Bosch machines -- don't ask me which ones, there are too many and it confuses me). Another thing is that the stainless steel dough hook that fits in the Artiste does NOT work with the Bosch stainless steel bowl (as stated by the company). I finally got the stainless steel dough hook for the Artiste after using it for 3 months and am very glad to have it. It is a little different and was an adjustment for me. I really feel like the BEST way to use the stainless steel dough hook (about $95 as of spring 2024 by the way) is to make the largest amount of bread I feel comfortable with -- which for me is a recipe using 8-10 cups of flour. If I make just half that amount it is just really hard for the dough to come off the sides compared to using the aluminum alloy hook with the plastic extender. (I wish there were a plastic extender to add to the stainless steel extender, but I'm okay with making more dough -- and I can even live with it if I really need to use a smaller amount of dough.)
Glad I found your review! I just got one a few weeks ago. NutriMill was running a pre-labor day sale on the deluxe pack which includes the items from the baker’s bundle and the slicer/shredder attachment. I’ve only used it a few times so far, first to make challah and second to shred potatoes and onions for latkes. The bread came out fabulous. The shredder attachment was so fast and powerful that I had no large pieces of potato or onion, which my Cuisinart always leaves behind or allows through and makes it a pain to pick out. One advantage of this that you didn’t mention is that with the motor on the bottom (unlike my old KitchenAid) and the design of the work bowl and cover, this mixer is great for petite ladies like myself. It is light enough to move to my kitchen table which puts it at the most comfortable height. My KitchenAid is so heavy that I can only use it where it sits and takes up a lot of room. Then there is the brilliant cover with its sliding door that practically banishes the flying flour that even with the flour shield in place was a constant frustration with the KitchenAid.
I have had one about 3 weeks. A work horse and I enjoy giving my beloved Kitchen Aid a rest. My only complaint is that it doesn’t mix small amts (such as 200 g flour for pizza) or 325g for my typical sourdough bread. Also It was to come with the ice cream maker but turns out the web site misprinted the ad. Pleasant Hill grains would let me send it back (at my expense) but wouldn’t honor the ad. Did t want to spend the $$ to return it.
I’ve been looking to get this mixer, I thought somewhere I as well read switch to the dough hook for nuts and choc chips so from first comment I guess I was correct .
Thanks for the review. Your video's are always so informative. I don't have one yet, as I just got Milly (nutrimill) last week. So just using Mr Pewter (kitchen-aid stand mixer). In my kitchen I also have Ruby Red (food processor), Berkey (Berkey water filter-sometimes I am not that creative), Sappy (Soda-stream) and Issy (Instant-pot)... glad its not just me that names them 🙂.
I just bought one. Been seeing a lot of videos saying it works for large or double batches, but not good for small batches. True? Also, I make a granola cookie, lots of nuts, coconut shreds and chocolate chips, will it do it?
I see you have a Bosch behind you on the counter. Do you prefer one over the other? I'm researching which one I want to buy now. I'm one month in milling my own flour and need to find a good dough mixer! Thanks!
Nice, thorough review, Felicia. Thank you for the useful information. I've been trying to decided between the NutriMill Mixer and the Bosch mixer. This one is more budget friendly, but I still haven't made up my mind. I appreciate the review. Thank you! Pam
@@ANotiontoSew as Felicia is an affiliate, I don't think she'd mind your knowing that the Artiste is only $199 through the 16th! I don't even need one and am tempted to grab one.
Hi Felicia, thanks for your honest, informative review. I used to have a Bosch multipurpose, strong motor mixer etc. The double dough hook is the same design. I discovered and regularly used the dough hooks to mix my chocolate chip, oatmeal and molasses cookies with great success I encourage you and anyone to try with this mixer.
It's very good to think outside the box with these non-standard mixers. I make that spinach dip that's on the packages of Knorr veggie soup but Mori-nu's tofu tweak. It's a PITA to do by hand and at one time, I only had a Bosch Compact. I had a 💡 moment and used its dough hook. Made life MUCH easier, as is doing big batches of cookies in the BUP with the dough hook.
This looks like an excellent mixer. And you just can’t beat the price when compared to the Bosch. Like you, I do love the lid and I wish Bosch had a lid like this one. If I didn’t already have a Bosch, I would most definitely buy the Nutri-Mill. I’m definitely a gadget girl, and I do have a sifter for my Bosch (for making cake type treats), but I do want to ask why you wouldn’t recommend a sifter?
Hi! I am REALLY hoping you see this and will answer this question. I am trying to find out if the oat flaker you use for your Bosch ( I just watched that video for yours) will work with this Nutrimill mixer? I’ve read something that makes me think it will work with the NM but would love to know for sure so I’m not wasting time and $ on my fixed income. I have this NM and love it because it’s just my husband and I. I have a hand crank flaker but it’s hard to use. I’d love to be able to have a motorized flaker. Thank you!
I have hard white wheat I have had in a Tupperware container for about 15 years. Do you think it is ok to use? No bugs or sprouting that I see. Has a very slight smell, not sure if rancid or not. Or just smells like Tupperware/wheat.
After having a Bosh Mixer for many years I decided to scale down so I purchased this mixer a year ago. I really dislike this mixer. The scrapers are difficult to put on and without them I must keep manually scraping down the sides of the bowl. As stated in your video the drive shaft pushes the cookie paddles out which is extremely annoying and messy. I was told by NutriMill they were having problem with this and was sent a new part. Unfortunately, it looks just like the old part, still having the plastic insert. The Bosh attachment does not have the plastic insert. It's all metal. I seldom use this mixer. BTW, the dough hooks work just fine.
So this begs the question... which do you like better? Annie or Betsy? I will be asking for a new mixer for Christmas and am overwhelmed trying to decide. A friend recently got the Anskaram (sp?) but she hasn't used it much yet. For me, price is not a factor because I would use it enough to rationalize any price. I want durability and easy of use (and I'm not sure I love all the plastic of this model). Oh, another question... while most of the time I would want to make multiple loaves at once, I would like a mixer that won't struggle with a single loaf. I can't remember which mixer it was, but I saw a review once that one of them was not designed for small quantities and would have issues mixer as a result. I already feel foolish for getting a KitchenAid mixer... I don't want to make another costly mistake! (Although if none of the bigger open top mixers can handle 1 loaf, at least I'd still have the stupid KA.) Maybe you should do a gift guide video (or series) before Black Friday comparing mixer brands, grain mill brands, and accessories. There are so many great products available, but knowing the features and limitations of each would be great. What is a con for some may be a pro for someone else.
That is an excellent video idea!!! And I definitely plan on doing a video comparing the Bosch and Artiste side by side so people can see the differences and what I would recommend for who 😀
Yes please! Do a video comparing the Bosch and Artiste side by side. Would you please do a small amount in each rather than just focusing on large amounts? I want to know how effectively both do a single loaf amount so that I don't have to have another mixer for the smaller jobs.@@GrainsandGrit
@@GrainsandGrit Hey Felicia! Did you still plan on doing a comparison video? Hubby has been asking me if I settled on which grain mill to get. I think he's been seeing the early Black Friday sales and hopes I won't be undecided still by Thanksgiving. And at this point I'm still unsure which is the best fit for me and I can't find clear info comparing them, specifically how much/little each can handle and still mix well. I remember someone saying one was really best for making dough in volume and that it didn't perform well if you were making a single loaf. I really want the flexibility to make a single loaf on occasion even if I mostly make 3-6 loaves at a time. And if you aren't doing a video, do you have any advice? All I know is that my Kitchen Aid is not sufficient and I can't wait to get a replacement!!! LOL
Question. When making your normal 2 loaf batch of sandwich bread the motor gets too hot and shuts off before the full knead time. In this video you have it set at 4 or 5. I’ve been kneading on 1. Is that the problem?

HI there, I saw a vid by Nutrimill that said to use the dough hook when adding chocolate chips or nuts to the cookie dough. Nice video, thanks.

We are only two people so I prefer to make one loaf at a time. We will check if they also have a smaller mixer. Eva
The Bosch Compact is a good mixer for one loaf of bread. That is what I have been using for 4 years now with no problems.
Do you have any problem taking the drive shaft in and out? We just got this mixer and it's hard to remove and replace.

If you bake a ton like me, go with the Bosch. If you’re not a power user the Artiste is great!

It’s a hard decision. I plan on doing a video soon comparing the two side by side to help people decide 😀
@@GrainsandGrit Excellent! I am looking forward to the side-by-side comparison. Thanks for all you do.

I have one. It does work ok, but I don't care for it. Much prefer my Ankasrum.
Oh well the Ank is the Cadillac of all mixers! Lol But I have heard there is a bit of a learning curve to it. Either way, they’re both great mixers 😀
a lot more expensive though!
How does it compare to the Bosch sitting on the counter behind you? :-)
This looks like an excellent mixer. And you just can’t beat the price when compared to the Bosch. Like you, I do love the lid and I wish Bosch had a lid like this one.

Because we want to keep as much whole grain bran and germ as possible! :-)
@@GrainsandGrit you can always sift for fluff, then gently stir in the bran.
Which one would you reach first Bosch or nutrimill ?
Probably the Bosch for my big family.
I just got one, so far so good, but it isn’t too good at small batches.

Hmm, not sure off the top of my head. I've always used it with my Bosch.
Thank you 😊
use should use the bread hook for heavy cookies.
I believe the wattage power on the artiste is 650 watts not 500.
Do you need metal top on top of driveshaft?
Could you give more information about the manual hand crank you say is an option?
Here you go: th-cam.com/video/aJjuLpoOlFM/w-d-xo.html

I tasted it and seems ok 👍🏼
Yeah, wheat berries don't really go rancid if stored properly. They might not taste as good, but probably won't taste bad either.
With that plastic bowl, does it do well with egg whites for meringues?
Not as well no

Is it better than the bosh
Question. When making your normal 2 loaf batch of sandwich bread the motor gets too hot and shuts off before the full knead time. In this video you have it set at 4 or 5. I’ve been kneading on 1. Is that the problem?
Hmm, it's worth a shot. Or it might be a faulty unit. Is it new?
Fairly new. Less than a year but it’s done it from day 1
I have one and it overheats at 5 minutes of kneading a double batch of pizza dough. So disappointed. It takes a long time to cool down.
Uh-oh! Yeah, heavy duty jobs like that might be a bit much for this mill.
A double batch of pizza dough is heavy?
Me too. I SO want the Ankasrum but...$$$$
I hear ya ha
You only live once. I love my Ank.
I have one, and I love it! I have had it a couple of years, and no problems! Thank you for your review❤
Mine will be here tomorrow. I can't wait to get to use it.i got it with the bakers package too.
I mean I'm getting the nutrimill mixer 😮
Still loving you Artiste?
Definitely!
Looks really plastic-y for $300. But I guess it’s the motor that matters.
They do have stainless steel options available like the Bosch does.
@@GrainsandGrit cool, thanks
Far too much plastic.
Surprisingly sturdy, though.
