Although you can buy a packet of maize flour from your local grocery store, most people would rather make their own flour at home. Home made flour is fresh and nutritious, and all you need is a maize flour milling machine and the maize grains which you can buy from the store or plant if you live in a farm.

If you will be using the milling machine often, you may want to buy an electrical machine which is easy to operate. However, if you have fewer funds and do not intend to use the machine often, a manual machine will do. This machine is much cheaper although some models can be pricey. You can also buy both for backup purposes when there are no lights.

The level of noise the maize flour milling machine makes also matters a lot. While all machines do make noise, some produce more noise and can become a nuisance t you and your neighbors over time. You may therefore want to choose a machine that does not produce a lot of noise. You should also check the size of the motor of the machine. A small motor is perfect for small scale and infrequent grinding, but you will need a large motor for large scale production. Finally, go for a machine that has a long warranty since this serves as a guarantee that it is going to last for a long period.
