Review: Higher Upfront Cost, but Excellent for Custom Espresso Filters - 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. Review: Does it work?? - I use a lot of craft paper punches, and most of them struggle when trying to cut laminated paper, and adhesive sticker sheets. I've had success cutting both of those mediums with EK paper punches, and this EK circle paper punch is the same. It cuts cleanly through even vinyl sticker sheets, which are notoriously difficult. The vinyl has a tendency to stretch, which makes using paper punches almost impossible, without distorting the vinyl. The adhesive can cause long term use a problems for most paper punches. It builds up inside punches, and causes cheaper punches to fail quickly. There's something about EK paper punches that makes them last longer than other brands. Time will tell, but I'm very pleased with this EK paper punch. It's the first lever style EK paper punch that I've tried, and it makes easy work because it doesn't require a lot of effort. I like that it locks in the closed position because it's easier to store, and takes up less space. The lever style makes it versatile, looks great, and the overall weight makes it feel like a quality product. If you're looking for a great paper punch, give EK paper punches a try. ## Features - Effortlessly create precise 1.5-inch circles with our easy-to-use paper punch. - Durable construction and comfortable grip for ease of use and long-lasting performance. - Ideal for card making, scrapbooking, creating tags, and other paper crafts. - Streamline your crafting process and achieve professional results with minimal effort. - Features a safety lock mechanism for secure handling and storage. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0090JVGFU | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,975 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #14 in Paper Punches | | Brand | EK Tools | | Brand Name | EK Tools | | Color | Light Grey | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 19,370 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00015586950540 | | Hole Count | 1 | | Included Components | Paper Punch | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 7.6"L x 4.7"W x 1.4"H | | Item Type Name | ek tools 1.5 inch CIRCLE 54-31001 | | Item Weight | 0.04 kg | | Manufacturer | EK Tools | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model | 54-31001 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Part Number | 54-31001 | | Pin Hole Diameter | 1.5 inches | | Product Dimensions | 7.6"L x 4.7"W x 1.4"H | | UPC | 782989198649 799916125128 015586950540 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Not applicable. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** EK Tools - **Color:** Light Grey - **Item Weight:** 0.04 Kilograms - **Material:** Plastic - **Product Dimensions:** 7.6"L x 4.7"W x 1.4"H ## Images ![Large Circle Punch, 1.5 inch with Safety Lock - Create Precise Circles with Paper or Cardstock - Hole Puncher for Handmade Cards, Scrapbooking, Gift Tags, DIY Projects, and Crafts - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/617S4xoDV+L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can you see what you are punching out from above? I need to be able to punch 24 circles out of a sheet - they are logo's.** A: You turn it over and work using the bottom you can clearly see what you're punching and line it up perfectly **Q: Would this work on plastic milk gallons?** A: I don't think so. It is intended to be used on cardboard and even if you use it on cardboard it shouldn't be too thick because it is very difficult to get through. The tool is good quality and works perfectly when used properly. **Q: Can you see what you are punch out before you punch it? If I'm punching an image I would need to see if I'm over it correctly** A: Yes, you can see the image and where you position the circle, by turning it over. Then you can place it just where you need it. I love mine. It is a great punch. **Q: This says it cuts a scalloped circle but it shows a smooth one. Which is correct?** A: I have both the scalloped and the smooth. Sometimes Amazons picture are incorrect. If you order a scalloped I will ship that one ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Higher Upfront Cost, but Excellent for Custom Espresso Filters *by P***M on July 20, 2026* I bought this EK Tools 2-inch circle punch to make my own espresso basket filters from Chemex paper.
