The product does the job well enough. I love the material it’s made of.

Very nice mortar and pestle. it's small but the right size for what I needed. It has a little more color variations than I would like but I just turn it to the whiter side when it's on display. I read a lot of reviews on this and other marble mortars that the marble crumbles from the pestle and gets into whatever you're grinding so I just bought a wooden pestle to use with it and it worked great. When not in use I keep the marble pestle in it since it looks nicer.

Der Mörser sieht sehr dekorativ und edel aus. Er ist sehr stabil und von guter Qualität. Er kam gut verpackt an. Sehr schön ist auch das Zubehöhr, das Unterdeckchen, der Löffel und der Pinsel. Ich bin voll zufrieden und kann den Kauf sehr empfehlen.

This mortar and pestle did a great job at crushing my rosemary, and now my sister doesn't complain about having sticks in her food.

I wanted a small pestle and mortar. This is just the right size and is excellent quality. The bookmark is too and the spoon and mat are useful additions. I recommend this.

It's a great weight not too heavy but heavy enough to hold up to the pressure of grinding. Nice and smooth so herbs don't get stuck in crevices. Cleans up nicely

If you grow your own or buy them, this little gem is ideal for breaking them down at the last minute to capture a truly fresh result. There is nothing better. Besides being beautiful, it is sturdy and promises perfect function at your behest. Also impressive to others that may be in the kitchen. If you love ultra freshness in your chow, use a pestle to create the fine seasoning that great cooks demand. Also good for buying "bottled" spices that are not already ground. They are marked on the bottle and at home, produce the same heaven as those right out of the garden. This little item will give you a bit of flair and confidence.

A beautiful marble. A convenient size . Please compare to the small coffee mug. Very smooth on the outside, rough on the inside, but rinsed clean! I wish the pestle were a bit longer for more leverage. Both are of heavy material, but the item is smallish- so not too heavy for aching joints! Grinds coriander seeds and fenugreek seeds, sesame seeds well. Very charming to look at, so you can store it as a display item. I would say this is quite high quality. It is certainly much, much nicer than the mortar and pestle sets at our local International markets. Overall, I am quite pleased. but will be on the lookout for a longer pestle.

My old mortar was getting worn and really was too small for how I use it. I spotted this one, a great value for the price. It works beautifully, and I especially like the little silicone anti-slip mat that came with it. Being white, some of the spices can leave little stains, especially saffron, but I managed to remove those, and use the older brown one for stain-prone yellow and green spices.This looks so pretty sitting in the kitchen window, too.

Ok, I am a retired chemist and this is THE BEST mortar and pestle I've EVER used!! I mean this is laboratory, pharmacuetical quality, perfection!!! It's MASSIVELY large, beyond sturdy, weighs nearly FIVE POUNDS, and the grinding surface on both the mortar and the pestle is NOT smooth but creates perfect friction and contact. This thing is so solidly made and well crafted I will NEVER have to "go lightly" on it. This thing will be able to handle whatever I throw at it. Plus it will handle everything in one attempt. I won't have to grind each ingredient separately and then mix. I can throw everything into this at once and go to town! Plus this thing is an art of beauty. I am so thrilled with this purchase.It was packaged securely, and not a scratch or crack on it when it arrived.Also, there were these cute little bookmarks included as a thank you!!!! Seriously?? So pleased with this company.

I bought this mortar & pestle to grind up large, hard pills that I sometimes have to give to my dog. The mortar & pestle easily reduces the pills to a fine powder that can then be mixed in my dog’s food. The little brush that’s included made it easy to clean off the pestle & get all the powder residue out of the mortar. The mortar is nice & deep which keeps everything contained. Both pieces are very easy to wipe or rinse off to clean.I plan to use the product for crushing spices also. The pestle is comfortable to use and you don’t have to apply much pressure.For being a utilitarian device, this product is really quite attractive, made from heavy marble, and comes with a small silicone mat, a small stiff bristled brush & a tiny spoon.Highly recommend.
