5.0 out of 5 stars A great addition to my kitchen!
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2024
Size: 5-InchVerified Purchase
I saw a highly favorable review of this item on America's Test Kitchen, so I tried it. I own an older mortar and pestle made of marble, but it is tiny compared to this behemoth. My first job was to grind some fresh pepper for a marinade. I would never attempt that in my old mortar because it's too small, there needs to be more surface area on the bottom, and the interior is very smooth. On the Cilio, it was a snap, and the job was done in less than a minute. The bottom of the mortar has lots of flat space, and the surface is not polished but is somewhat abrasive.

Just one note about this item: it is HEAVY. Storing it in a low cabinet or high on a shelf will not work if you're older or have trouble lifting things. If you have the space (and I understand that most of us don't), the ideal spot for storage would be on your countertop.

I'm sold!! I can't wait to start making pesto in my new mortar.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very effective for grinding Basel leaves
Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2018
Size: 5-InchVerified Purchase
I bought this mortar and pestle a couple of months ago expressly to make pesto. It worked perfectly. I made a sizeable batch of pesto which required grinding large bunches of Basel leaves. There was plenty of room in the mortar to grind the leaves as well as the pine nuts, parmigiano, and oil. The mortar is quite heavy which helps keep it stable while grinding with the pestle. It was easy to clean up...or as easy as anything weighing that much. It will be very handy for making pesto in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is one thing made in China that is great. It works well for everything I have tried
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2014
Size: 5-InchVerified Purchase
I have used this about 20 times now. I wanted granite because it is so much more durable than others. This is one thing made in China that is great. It works well for everything I have tried. It is heavy enough to pound spices like whole pepper corns and allspice and works well with grinding small amounts of fresh herbs like cilantro and parsley. It is very well made and heavy duty. If you break this one you have to really work at it. The size works well for smaller quantities and also has space and works well for larger quantities. I only wanted one size because of limited kitchen space and this one is great. It is the recommendation of Test Kitchen and I agree - for one mortar and pestle this is the one.

4.0 out of 5 stars HEAVY!!!
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2023
Size: 5-InchVerified Purchase
This size is great for use in a kitchen where you don't have to move it much. It's heavy, very heavy. That's probably a good thing if you need to use it with a significant amount of seeds, nuts, herbs, or other things. It probably will frustrate people if they have to semi-regularly remove it from a storage place for use. This large size is definitely overkill for many people's use.

For a hand grinding mortar and pestle, this one works well. It is rough enough to handle the grinding. It is heavy enough not to move around. It is large enough to allow room to move the pestle. Good product. It has that fresh grind product that so often you just don't get from a motorized grinder. It is rough and not even so it adds a touch of your personality to your dish. Recommended.
