At De Anza, we use the badge-a-minit 3" plastic rings. They cost about 20 bucks. We actually press them in a real tool press, not in the plastic thing you get in the 'kit' from badge-a-minit...so if I had it to do over again I'd buy nothing but the plastic rings. The secret is to press the edges of the button maker, not the center. This works well for us, and I think we can get that five second rate (exclusive of cutting) when our students are well fed.
By the way, USA buttons has MUCH better prices on the actual button supplies than Badge-a-Minit...we've used them with pleasure for the past three years.
