I gave this bread a shot in the bread machine this weekend, full-through the baking. I used a Cuisinart machine. I set the machine to whole wheat, 1.5 lb, light crust, and perhaps I was off a bit, because the loaf is very dense and the rise was pretty limited. On the plus side, though, it's not at all a bad texture. It's very heavy, but moist, and not at all crumbly. It slices very nicely, and toasts up without falling apart. It feels like a cross between yeast bread and a biscuit, I guess. Even though my results don't look like the blog pictures, it's a very delicious bread. I'll definitely give it another run in the machine, trying the white bread setting next time, I think.
