5.0 out of 5 stars Took my time choosing & ChefSofi 2 Cup Black Polished IS A BEAUTIFUL & PRACTICAL Choice! LOVE IT! I already LOVE this. I took my time choosing, reading what everyone had to say. I knew the marble ones are too noisy for me. At last I chose this and did the prep with rice and then herb seasoning of it. It was EASY. Now… I love the look…so glad I chose the black and it is BEAUTIFUL. Looks terrific in my kitchen. More important, I love the 2 cup size…no one really wrote what size they’d bought, so I wasn’t sure… but I am SO happy I chose the 2 cup. Perfect. Worth the extra money for SURE. And lastly I love how nice it feels in my hand and how easy it smashes and grinds. Even more important, I now consider this an INVESTMENT because without electricity this will continue to serve me and mine for the rest of our lives. I kept putting off buying one because I didn’t “Need” it. Now that I’ve played with the fresh spices and am having fun in my kitchen I can’t believe I’ve done without it all these years. I’m thinking of getting one for my brother for the holidays. Honestly, If you’ve been looking for one, this is a REALLY GREAT and BEAUTIFUL CHOICE. I believe you will love yours like I already love mine.Variation: Color: BlackSize: 2-Cups
5.0 out of 5 stars Why did it take me so long to buy a mortar & pestle? 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-madeThis 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 materialIt’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 capacityIt’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 maintainCleaning 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.Variation: Color: BlackSize: 1.5-Cups
5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect mortar and pestle! 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.Variation: Color: BlackSize: 2-Cups
5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Mortar & Pestle I’ve been wanting to buy a mortar and pestle set for a while. I don’t need one very often, but I started making a specific seasoning for a chicken recipe I love and each time I make it, I need to grind some fennel seeds with some other spices. I have to clean out my coffee grinder and get all the bits of coffee out, use it, then clean the life out of it again to go back to being a coffee grinder. I tried using my mini prep, but it didn’t seem to work well for the job.So, I finally got one and selected this brand. This is SOLID. It’s the perfect size for me (I got the 1.5 cup although maybe I should have gotten the 2 cup, but that’s just me) and it’s heavy and super sturdy.I chose this set because it’s more of a raw surface. A smooth surface won’t give you that grit that you need to grind well. I’ve seen smooth marble versions that would be useless, to be honest. You need some texture on both the mortar and pestle to do the job right.The handle on the pestle is comfortable to grip. The two pieces are slightly different shades, but it’s a natural product, so that’s to be expected. It comes with a bottom, kind of soft grippy sticker so the granite it won’t come in contact with and scratch your counter and will grip your counter and now slide around when you use it Don’t forget to apply the sticker (I have a. photo attached with my pics here).Oh! And don’t forget to follow the instructions to “season” it, so you don’t get any bits of stone in your first few uses. I used uncooked white rice. It’s kind of annoying, but don’t skip this step!!Made in Germany, not China! This will last forever, to be honest.Looks beautiful on my counter. For the price, this is a high quality, well made set and I recommend it highly.Variation: Color: GraySize: 1.5-Cups
5.0 out of 5 stars Heavy duty This mortar and pestle is sturdy, high quality, and heavy-duty. It feels very well made and durable. I also really appreciated the clear seasoning instructions, which made it easy to prepare for use. Overall, I’m very happy with it and would definitely recommend it!Variation: Color: GraySize: 1.5-Cups
5.0 out of 5 stars Great product Great product. Came with instructions on how to season it. Large mortar and two different size pestles. It’s heavy, but when I set it on a wood cutting board it doesn’t move around.Variation: Color: BlackSize: 5-Cups
