Standard 6 Inch 2 Cup Capacity, Black Polished Exterior

This is extremely sturdy and easy to use. I never take it off my counter. Both the mortar and the pestle are very heavy, which makes the mortar extremely stable — it does not move on the counter while using it. The weight of the pestle actually makes it easier to use because the weight carries the action, and the handle is quite comfortable in your hand, giving you a lot of flexibility in how you use it. The grinding surface is absolutely perfect. I use it almost daily to grind dry herbs to release their oils and flavor without your having to pick little sticks out of your food when you eat. I think it’s very important to follow the directions carefully for the initial conditioning of it and breaking it in so that you don’t have marble dust in what you are grinding. It’s a little time consuming but easy enough. My husband has a serious medical condition that requires an extremely strict salt-free diet. The hospital gave him dreadful food with absolutely no flavor. In order for him to enjoy his food, I add lots and lots of herbs and seasonings. For the past year, this mortar and pestle have made that possible and easy. I love this thing and am grateful for its ease of use. The most amazing thing is that it is beautiful in the bargain, absolutely gorgeous to look at on my counter.

I’m honestly wondering why it took me so long to purchase a mortar and pestle! I am extremely happy with this one, and it has quickly become a staple in my kitchen. There are several reasons why I truly enjoy using it: 1. Sturdy and well-made This mortar and pestle is very heavy-duty—it literally feels like a small brick. That weight makes a huge difference when grinding because it stays in place and feels very stable. 2. Quality design and material It’s crafted from solid granite, which not only makes it durable but also gives it a clean, simple, and elegant look. I appreciate kitchen tools that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, and this definitely fits that. 3. Great size and capacity It’s large enough to hold a good amount of herbs and spices at once, which makes it practical for everyday cooking. I can also see this being perfect for small batches of things like guacamole or fresh spice blends. 4. Easy to maintain Cleaning and seasoning have been very simple so far. With proper care, I can tell this will last a long time, which makes it feel like a worthwhile investment. Overall: This is absolutely a purchase I would make again. It’s functional, durable, and a great addition to any kitchen.

Love the mortar and the pestle - they grind, smash, pulverize just as advertised - they are both very heavy and also hold things down very well, very well - and they look great too, very classic mortally/pestlely vibe - I highly recommend for all your grinding, smashing, pulverizing needs

THE 1.5 cup mortar & pestle set iso very well made - solid, heavy, and capable of crushing the hardest of grindables into a powdery pulp. Delivery was swift. Packaging was sturdy. Instructions were succinct yet thorough. Very happy with this product.

Very nice and solid. Work well for its intended use. It is a bit more difficult to clean then I would have wanted. Good buy.

Exactly what I was looking for, perfect texture, size, and weight. Arrived safely packaged.

OBSEEEEESSED! I’ve recently gotten into the whole Homestead life, making everything from scratch that I can cut out all preservatives and crap food that we are able to. I learned that you can make your own pesto, garlic powder, onion powder, etc. I received this and followed the instructions to wash, dry, season, and while I was incredibly impatient for the two days it took for me to complete this. It was so worth it. I made my own garlic pesto this week, using my basil plant and fresh garlic clove and shoved that inside of a chicken that I baked and holy cow. Freaking amazeballs! I initially intended to use a neighbor‘s coffee grinder, but when I got it to my house, unplugged it and it didn’t work. So I did what any same person would do and went shopping and found this. The great thing about this is that it’s not electronic and it’s never going to die on you and if you take care of it, it will last you your lifetime and then some. It does take a bit of a practice and I’m still learning how to grind into a solid paste as opposed to having a few flex in here and there, but I will get better at it. I got the 2 cup one and let me tell you this thing is heavy duty, it’s got some weight to it. The 2 cup size is great because even if I make small things, I have the option to make larger things if I want to and if I wanna make something I’m able to can or seal it. I got the black option which goes with the colors of items already on my counter.

I love this thing so much and I needed one that was deeper just like this one. I hope this lasts me very very long time. I use it for everything.

“Developed and designed in Germany” Made in China. Nice heavy item, but insanely had to be sent all around the world to get to the UK. The highest rated mortar and pestle, proudly states developed and designed in Germany with their flag colours on the ad, however it is made in China. Along with everything else. I feel foolish to have proudly stated Germany. Somewhat misleading, no? I’m sure it will function as intended, however it is a gift and so I shall not be using it myself. I’ll be handing it over in shame however, and embarrassedly coming clean about the origins of the item. Feel a bit tricked. State clearly where it comes from, don’t try and pass it off as German made on first glance.

Très beau mortier, lourd et solide, fait très bien le travail. Il faut cependant mettre un sous-plat antidérapant dessous si on ne veut pas abîmer son comptoir. Il aurait été bien que le fabricant pense à mettre une matière antidérapante sous le mortier. À ce prix, je suis satisfaite de mon achat.

Excelente calidad, es un producto de alta estética, material y funcionabilidad óptimos; superó mis espetativas; si lo recomendaría.

Es ist eine Anleitung dabei, wie der Mörser zum ersten Mal benutzt werden soll - das anzuwenden schützt sicher das schöne Stück ist aber echt mühsam! Sonst ist er einfach klasse! Unterschiedliche Stößel Größen machen das arbeiten vergleichsweise angenehm. Wir machen damit Pesto
