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. Review: 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. ## Features - A kitchen must-have: Mortar and pestle set (mortero de cocina - morter and pessel - molcajete or guacamole bowl and pestel) has been used for THOUSANDS of years as THE way to crush, grind and powder herbs and dry spices.

The design (i.e. dimensions, granite type, porosity level, density grade, roughness length, mortar thickness, mortar capacity etc.) is done in Germany. The actual granite raw material and manufacturing is carried out in the north mountains of Baoding city, Hebei province, China. Please do not hesitate to ask any further questions. Best, Brian **Q: What are the directions to prep this? Its not coming up on my phone...thank you!** A: I'm a bit concerned, I was about to purchase this product but you can't be serious about this cleaning and seasoning process? This is ridiculously complicated. I'm looking for something to help prepare my cats medications... Are you expecting that customers who are strictly looking for a product to use with medications will magically be aware ahead of time about these instructions and have all of these on hand already? i don't have any of these items on hand and this whole process turned the simple idea of buying a replacement mortar and pestle from receiving an item, washing it out, then waiting for it to dry then using it into an insane process... Now I have to go out and buy white rice, cloves of garlic, cumin, and pepper? And then go through all these steps as well. I think you need to make it explicitly clear up at the top of the product listing you CANNOT use this as it is when it arrives and you have to go through a cleaning and seasoning process prior to usage. I need a new mortar so I can grind up my cat's meds when we wake up in the morning and this one can be here overnight and it looks fantastic. If i had ordered it and opened the directions and found this nonsense out I would have been furious. I need a new mortar/pestle to grind up my cat's meds in the morning and if I had ordered this thinking I could rely on it and then received it and counted on being able to use it and saw that I had to somehow magically obtain all these items first thing in the AM I don't have a car which is one reason I use amazon) I don't know what I'd end up doing. I can't express how disappointed I am with this discovery **Q: My pestle came chipped, how do i go about getting this replaced?** A: They are awesome for replacement! Just email them! **Q: What if i don't have any cumin? What can be substituted?** A: The first mortar like this I purchased was in Mexico. My native friends I was staying with cured the mortar with just rice and it turned out great. I did the same thing with this one. My opinion the important thing is to grind the inside of the mortar well enough as to not have rock pieces grind off into your sauces or ground spices and the rice alone does the job. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Mortar & Pestle *by C***J on July 23, 2026* I've been wanting to buy a mortar and pestle set for a while.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - ChefSofi Mortar and Pestle Set - 6 Inch - 2 Cup Capacity - Unpolished Heavy Granite for Enhanced Performance and Organic Appearance - Included: Anti-Scratch Protector - Priority Chef Heavy Duty Large Mortar and Pestle Set, 100% Granite, Non Slip Base, Make Fresh Guacamole, Salsa, Pesto, Stone Grinder Bowl, Herb Crusher, Spice Grinder, 4 Cup - Black - PriorityChef Large 15oz Potato Ricer, Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Potato Masher and Ricer Kitchen Tool, Press and Mash Kitchen Gadget For Perfect Mashed Potatoes - Everytime --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/34011973-chefsofi-mortar-and-pestle-set-gray-2-cups](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/34011973-chefsofi-mortar-and-pestle-set-gray-2-cups) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-10-13*
