Nice beginning mortar and pestle
You’ll like this mortar and pestle if you just plan to use it in the kitchen or for making herbal remedies. Be sure not to use acidic things like vinegar or lemon juice in anything made out of marble, such as this, or it will cause it to erode.

The only complaints about this are that the felt pad on the bottom of the mortar will come off after a few washings. Also, don’t use this with anything too hard — it won’t damage the mortar or pestle, but things like peppercorns aren’t actually going to get crushed. They’ll just pop out of the mortar when you try and smash them.

Over time, the smooth grey marble at the bottom of the pestle and on the grinding surface of the mortar will wear away and look whitish. That’s to be expected, and it will not mess up your ability to grind things in it. In fact, it will probably grind things better at that point.

Final Verdict: A great value for $15-20. I would recommend this to a friend.

Mortar & Pestle
This marble mortar and pestle is beautiful on my counter and the perfect size for cooking needs. The pestle could be a bit rougher but the mortar takes care of catching the spices or what ever else I put in it to crush. All in all I am quite pleased with my gift. My husband choose just what I wanted.

Good, simple design
Having owned several mortar & pestles in the past for grinding, this does the trick. Many of the mortar & pestles I looked at had very high sides which is only useful if you want to grind about a tablespoon worth of stuff.

I chose this one because I wanted a more shallow bowl which would allow for more than a tablespoon’s worth of grinding.

The end of the pestle is only about an inch in diameter. I would have liked one that was wider in order to crush more in less time. That is my only gripe about this product.

I also went with the marble because I had one in the past that I loved but it had to stay with my parents when I moved out. I’m sure that granite would have worked, but I didn’t like that they came only in very dark colors. Just a personal preference.

As for another reviewer who mentioned adding that the inside wasn’t polished and therefore he was getting additional chalky minerals in his diet. That guy is smoking crack. Obviously, he has never use a mortar & pestle before and doesn’t know how to use one. The reason the bottom of the pestle and the inside of the mortar isn’t polished is to provide friction so that the items can be ground. When I first got mine, I purposely ground the pestle into the mortar to see if any residue came off of it. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

Not really impressed.
I grow my own herbs, and wanted to use this to ground them up. It does not do a very good job. I tend to just use my food chopper instead, because it works better.
