ChefSofi Mortar and Pestle Set (Gray, 1.5-Cups)

Purchased the 1.5 cups mortar and pestle set. Came with sturdy packaging. The set itself was a good size and the the natural granite was a wonderful color to get. Nice and heavy for use. I placed it on a cork pot holder to prevent scratching on the counter. Good directions for seasoning the granite came with the package (as well on the website). Not too much dust on the bowl so had to only grind 3 times before using. If I need a larger set, I would purchase ChefSofi again.

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.

Liked the item and the cost is reasonable compared to others that I believe was expensive. The packaging was great as protected item when shipped to recipient (me).
