La Marzocco filter basket 17 g for LEVA – original basket
The balanced standard for the La Marzocco Leva: seventeen grams, an evenly formed puck and, under the calm pressure of the lever, a dense, round cup. An original filter basket made precisely for the Leva.
Nobody needs a replacement basket – but a fresh basket or a second dose option does any Leva good. It's one of many possible choices, and we respect it either way.
What makes this basket special
It's an original La Marzocco basket for the Leva – the lever machine from Florence, whose saturated group keeps temperature and pressure particularly steady. A precise, even basket distributes the water cleanly over the puck and turns the slow lever shot into a round, clear cup. Espresso is extraction via a weight ratio, usually 1:2 – so with 17 g, around 34 g in the cup. Taste and smell are inseparable; a large part arises retronasally. It is our observation that the choice of basket fundamentally changes the aroma profile.

Roastery tip
The calm lever extraction of the Leva rewards dense, aromatic beans. From our coffee roastery, Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight come through full-bodied and round. If you're after maximum body without any acidity, stay with Very Nutty; if you like it fruity, you'll discover a lively peach note with Wild Peach. Our recommendation – one of many.
