Marble Mortar and Pestle Set, Pill Crusher and Spice Stone Grinder, 3.7 Inch, 1/2 Cup, Grinding is Efficient and Labor-Saving (Black)

I liked the size of the pestle and the concept of the bowl shaped mortar which is supposed to be easier to use.I mainly purchased it to crush whole peppercorns, however, peppercorns are probably the only thing it won’t crush. Because they are round, they act like ball bearings against the pestle and the pestle just rolls around on them.Nevertheless, the mortar and pestle are very nice, weighty, decent size for small portion grinding, and it’s made of nice material.

I need this to crush up my puppy medicine, it worked perfectly

Got this set for spice grinding.It works very well-- far better than the mechanical grinders I also got to compare.It is also easier to clean.I do wish the handle on the pestle was longer, but.. it works.

This does a great job of crushing pills. The fact that the two sides are the same size makes so it is really easy to capture a round pill. And the two hemispheres are a very close match to the result is a nice fine powder.What i don't like about it, and it would be easy to add, is a spout-like indentation for pouring out the crushed contents without any spilling where it should not. For spices, this does not matter, but for pills the measured dosage is important and you don't want to miss any of it.The marble is soft (for a stone) and i will probably add my own spout with a diamond bit and a dremel.

Heavy, stable and does the job well. I like that it has a non-slip gripper pad on the bottom. Well worth the price.
