The 68mm conical burrs spin at low RPM for cool grinding that preserves flavor compounds, while the touch interface makes dose programming intuitive. The K3 Touch is popular in smaller cafés and with home users who prefer the conical burr flavor profile. Its compact footprint belies its commercial-grade internals, and the build quality ensures years of reliable service.

The conical burr design is known for producing a slightly bimodal grind distribution, which many enjoy for its body and complexity in espresso.
