Can anyone recommend a good but inexpensive mill grinder that will grind course?
The ones I've looked at online start at $250. I'm not sure if this is something I will continue to use so I don't want to invest that much in it and I still need to get a bread mixing machine as well.
I just bought a Lee Household Flour Mill off of eBay for ~$150. It's great... loud, but great. It can do really fine or VERY coarse... practically cracked grain. I used its coarsest setting once to make corn meal. It was more corn pebbles than corn meal. I ran it through again at a finer setting and it still ended up making gritty cornbread.
The benefit of grinding your own flour is that you KNOW the fats in the grain aren't rancid. Most whole wheat flour you buy in the store will have been sitting long enough that the fats have oxidized.
As for a bread machine, I also just bought a Panasonic model YD250 on eBay for ~$65.00 Talk about easy! It's really quiet and makes bread making fun. Easy to clean, too.
Does that model also bake the bread? I imagine it taste so much better than bought bread, yes? I'll look at Ebay!

Yup. It does it all. You just toss all the ingredients in the pan and then put the yeast in a little door on top of the machine. When it's time for the yeast, the bread machine drops it in the mix automatically. I've really enjoyed it. It comes with a recipe book. I've tried several from the book, but so far my favorite is the whole wheat yogurt bread. It's kind of a sour dough but without the wait. 🙂
