This is a review comparison between a porcelain and Granite mortar and pestle. Obviously, I am happy with the purchase of our Cole & Mason mortar and pestle so after many years of using our old porcelain one I thought you might like my opinion on what I look for in a M&P plus how these types of materials compare.

Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane – the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started SSM in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let’s get into it! Cheers, Mark 🙂
what are the measurements of the black one trying to purchase one and the last one i got was a 3 by 2 nothing to make anything big with. It's just way to small.
What about a clay mortar?
Great presentation. Thanks for posting. I've been on the fence about purchasing that Cole and Mason version, and you really helped me make the decision.

I just got my Cole&Mason Pestle & Mortar today. And I realize that if the granite dust is harmful when you grind you food.I mean when you grind up something with granite pestle , it maybe a little bit dust coming out even we can not see it. What do you think ? Is it a concern we should think of ? I would like to use it to grind my coffee beans. Thanks
You might want to make another pestle from wood that has a wider bottom it makes it easier to grind some things lol and check Asian markets for better prices on them. And if you can't afford granite stoneware or wood both work better than porcelain. You can get a stoneware one that's crosshatched and can be used as a grater as well.
This was sooo helpful! I’ve watched a ton of videos and this by far was the best! Thank you for making this so simple!!
What size is that one?
Did you season your granite set?
I wanted a mortar and pestle since childhood, and just got my first one about a year ago. Now I have a collection of them around my house. One of my most favorite is my alabaster one, but I don't use it for crushing anything. I just love the look and feel of it.
Great video. Thanks for explaining the features offered by the simplest of tools.
why are you saying it backwards? ive never heard anyone say motar and pestle normally its pestle and motar sounds alien to my ear maybe its cos your in australia its all upside down lol
Thanks, Mark. I am looking to get a mortar/pestle to make "wet masala" and a different one for dry masala & curry powder. You are awesome!
What about a brass mortal and pestle
Can u please do a demo on the granite one for both dry and wet grinding and show. Very useful video. Thank you
I have a great Joseph and Joseph Porcelain mortar with a spherical tip works super well
I just got an Imusa 8 inch mochajete only $19.00 on Amazon. Its granite and I ground it in with water. About 4 times to get all the silica all out. Now I am ready to make salsa and guacamole.
Thanks for a great presentation! I have couple of questions about granite mortar:
1. If I ground vitamins for my kid (doctor said it’s ok to crush them), the texture is quite “sandy”, there is no coat. But is there any danger that bits or pieces of granite itself can get in??
2. Do I need to wash the mortar every time after the vitamins crush (if I use it only for vitamins)?
Thank you so much in anyway!!
How do you condition it and how do you clean it? Great video.
Hi from new england, wish i could just fly over to Australia visit for a while pick your mind… love watching ya mate eh
Vry nice. Where from I can buy good porcelain mortar and pestle plz tell me, and what is this mortar meaure.
An option to grinding pills is to put them in an ounce or two of water and let them dissolve with some occasional stiring.
I've stumbled across you in the wild, an oldie too. Feel like I've found a rare Self Sufficient Me gem.

Awesome comparison!
Thank you for this!! I'm used to a molcajete (Mexican version) for food and whatnot, but I was looking into one for natural beauty products I'm making (eye serums, hair serums, etc.) And this helped me choose a porcelain one for that specific need, since I'm grinding up some things to infuse with the oil serums before bottling. Ty for the fair review!!
