As far as I can tell, three rollers gives a better crush. I really do not know though. Maybe the mm3.0 would work out for me?

I have just scored my 2nd MM2. All of my customers who get their malt crushed is with one of these. I loved my 1st one, this is why I wanted to replace it with another. I have crushed literally Tonnes of malt with my MM2, and the only reason I replaced it was because the knurling had become rounded and is no good for crushing wheat or some of the Paler crystal malts. I'm sure it's got plenty more tonnes of base malt to crush in its life.

On reading on the MM3, which I,m sceptical about how good 3 rollers actually are. I went back to my high school years upon reading "Our knobs are made from 303 stainless steel for excellent durability, and are larger in diameter than the competition, as well as knurled for a positive grip".Come on now...that is FUN-NEE

I'm using an MM2.0 and i love it.

 

The crush is pretty spot on and I'm not sure that an MM3 could do a whole lot better. I guess you pays your money and takes your choice. I'm sure there's another thread on here all about mills

There's some older info in this thread

 

I have a Barley Crusher.  It works well for me and I crank it all by hand and have no desire to change.  Yeah, the rollers are smaller than the MM rollers but somehow I don't think it's the biggest problem with my beers :)   Maybe my efficiency would be higher but as a homebrewer that doesn't really concern me.
