ek tools (イーケーツールズ) PSN L 2 インチ CIRCLE 54-30151

I bought this EK Tools 2-inch circle punch to make my own espresso basket filters from Chemex paper. I use a Breville Barista Express, but the punched circles do not fit any of the stock baskets that came with my machine. They fit my aftermarket 53 mm baskets extremely well, so basket compatibility should be checked before purchasing. The punch feels solid and produces clean, consistent circles without tearing or leaving rough edges. The finished filters lay flat inside compatible baskets without curling or bunching, and using the punch is much easier than trying to cut circles by hand. The upfront cost is definitely higher than just buying premade espresso filters. The advantage is that the punch is reusable, and over time you are not stuck buying whatever paper quality, thickness, or brand happens to be available in premade circles. You can experiment with different filter papers and choose exactly what works best for your espresso setup. That flexibility is really what makes the tool worth owning.

Needed a 51mm whole puncher for cutting the chemex paper filters. Does a good job, clean cut

Excellent product quality. Size of cut out circle 2inches. Sturdy durable product. Easy to use. Slightly expensive compared to other products with similar specifications.

This punch was exactly what I was looking for! I purchased 3 others but they all punched way too close, if not right on, the edge of the paper. I created door hangers for my destination wedding and this punched a perfectly placed and sized hole for it to fit over a door knob. I printed them on 100lb paper and this punch cut through it no problem. I punched them one by one just to be sure I had a clean and accurate cut. I would definitely recommend this punch!
