Laevo Mortar and Pestle Large Set - Black Granite Stone Spice Grinder, 2.1 Cup Capacity, 5.5 Inches - Reversible Molcajete Mexicano - Guacamole, Spices - Large Mortar and Pestles Set

This mortar and pestle set is everything I wanted—solid, spacious, and seriously effective. The granite has a beautiful natural look, and the weight makes grinding effortless. It doesn’t slide around or tip, even when I’m working on tough spices or seeds.I love the reversible design—one side for everyday grinding and the other for things like guacamole or pastes. It’s easy to clean, holds a good amount (over 2 cups!), and looks great sitting on the counter.If you’re tired of flimsy grinders, this is the real deal. A must-have for anyone who cooks with fresh ingredients.

This being my first mortar and pestle, I can't testify to ease of use and such. But while I'm still hyped on receiving it, I'm gonna discuss the things I like and, over time I will be putting this to the test. A lot. Since I've read some people get a few months down the road and then disaster strikes, I will be keen to come back and update.What I personally like, that seems to set this apart from others I've seen, is while there's that extra, small, shallow mortar on the bottom (unique by itself) I like that they made the edge of that rough. It IS still a base, after all. But they could have went and polished it like the exterior of the main bowl, thus making it more flashy, so I respect them making it rough. The little spoon is cute, and I'm sure I'll find a use. And while I can get infinite recipes online, it is always pleasant to find one in the box. A quick reference on the corkboard in the kitchen can be a lifesaver.Now I will say this pestle seems to have a more rounded tip (on the side you use in the main bowl). I can't say how this will work, but it seems like it might make round ingredients difficult. This is something I'll have to test, though other reviewers say this works swell for peppercorn.

This is very nice! It has the big bowl on one side then flip it over for a smaller one! It is good quality granite and sturdy. A great way to crush your herbs, etc.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Nicely weighted , substantial, mortar, and pestle.Attractive and plenty of room inside to do what it’s supposed to do. I recommend it.

All I have to say is, I love it!

I like the item just fine, however it was missing the silicone lid ;(

This item works very well. Heavy duty.

Heavy sturdy and beautiful
