I didn't call this a funnel, as I think that implies a taper of some kind, but I've included the word here, so a search still hits this post :wink:

I have discovered that some slim soft drink cans are an appropriate diameter. The Schweppes tonic water can is 57.55mm, and San Pellegreno drinks are 57.75mm in diameter. You can cut them with scissors.

From the picture you can see my Schweppes ring in a Lelit 57mm double basket. I had originally thought to use a rubber band (from some vegetables) as a stop, but I was rewatching James Hoffman's puck prep video, and he mentioned liking a particular dosing ring because of the magnets, and 'AH HA!' And to use the magnets, it should be the other way up.
