La Marzocco 17g Advanced Precision Filter Basket
La Marzocco 17g Advanced Precision Filter Basket Genuine La Marzocco 17g Advanced Precision Filter Basket, part number F.3.027.01, built on the same manufacturing process as La Marzocco's X range for consistent, professional-grade extraction. Filter baskets do a lot of quiet work behind the scenes, and La Marzocco's Advanced Precision range was developed to bring genuinely precise, consistent baskets to a wider range of machines without the extra cost of individual scanning. It shares its manufacturing process with La Marzocco's flagship X baskets, so you're getting the same underlying quality of construction, just without the proprietary digital scan and QC coding that comes with the X line. For most cafés and home baristas, that's a sensible trade-off between precision and price. The 17g size sits comfortably in the traditional Italian dose range, ideal for a more concentrated, syrupy style of espresso. Built in stainless steel, this basket is engineered for even, consistent water flow through the coffee bed, helping to minimise the channelling and uneven extraction that comes from lower quality, mass-produced baskets. It's a genuine upgrade over generic aftermarket baskets while remaining an accessible, everyday choice for cafés running high volumes of espresso day in, day out. This 17g Advanced Precision basket fits all La Marzocco portafilters, making it a simple, reliable replacement or addition to your basket set. Whether you're refreshing a basket that's worn from years of daily service, or building out a range of dose-specific baskets to suit different coffees and roast profiles, this is the genuine La Marzocco part to reach for. Technical specifications Genuine La Marzocco Advanced Precision Filter Basket Part number: F.3.027.01 Dose: 17g Material: stainless steel Same manufacturing process as La Marzocco's X range baskets Not individually digitally scanned or QC coded, unlike the X range Fits all La Marzocco portafilters Engineered for even, consistent extraction FAQ What dose is this filter basket designed for? This is the 17g size, suited to more traditional, concentrated espresso ratios. Will this fit my La Marzocco portafilter? Yes, it's designed to fit all La Marzocco portafilters. What's the difference between this and La Marzocco's X Filter Basket? Both share the same manufacturing process, but the X range is individually digitally scanned and quality control coded for guaranteed consistency, while the Advanced Precision range skips that scanning step to keep the price more accessible. Is this a genuine La Marzocco part? Yes, this is the genuine part, F.3.027.01, sourced directly rather than a third-party alternative. How do I know when to replace my filter basket? Signs include visible wear to the holes, discolouration, warping, or extraction that's become inconsistent despite unchanged grind, dose and technique. Is the Advanced Precision basket a downgrade from the X basket? Not in construction. It uses the same manufacturing process as the X range. The difference is the individual scanning and QC coding step, which the X range includes and the Advanced Precision range doesn't. What's the difference between the 17g and other basket sizes? Basket size determines how much coffee you can dose, which affects your brew ratio and shot style. Smaller baskets like 14g and 17g suit traditional, concentrated recipes, while larger baskets such as 21g suit higher yield, more modern ratios. Does the basket material affect the taste of the espresso? Stainless steel is inert and doesn't affect flavour directly. What matters more for taste is the precision and consistency of the basket's perforations, which influences how evenly the shot extracts.
