Why not invest in a nuclear-powered blender like VitaMix. The retail price
of the VitaMix 5000, including a grain container, is about $450. They spin
at 3 times the typical blender speed, and generate so much heat in the
process that you can mix some water, broccoli, and chicken bullion and turn
out a steaming bowl of soup in 7 minutes.

The grain container has built-in blades, and it is internally shaped
differently from the standard container. It is meant to convert grain into
fine flour fairly quickly. And the base assembly contains a variable speed
control.

With VitaMix, you not only get a fabulous blender that is guaranteed for 5
years, but you also get the ability to mill grain. In fact, you can knead
make single-loaf dough in it and plop it out into your hand, ready for
rising.

You could make a worse investment.
