Joanne Sawyer asked about german and other hand mills.

I use the country living grain mill ($300-400, I think) and am very happy 
with it.  Although it's a bit of a misnomer because I mill my daily coffee 
in it as well.  The only thing it's not great for is nut butter--it does 
the job but is not easy to clean.  The Zassenhaus grain mill, formerly made 
in Germany, is no longer being manufactured.

For nut-butters, the corona or victoria mill (should be $40 or so) works 
very well.

I use a #40 screen to sift my flour, get about 85% extraction, and good 
loaf volume with my starter.
