A very stable mortar, which is a match for any kitchen use

Important in the purchase decision was that the mortar is hard and stable. The weight alone, it is stable and can withstand the possibility vigorous arm movements, the corresponding massive ram helps. A wooden or metal was not an option.
The Kesper is well made and is on the plan Gründfläche. Since he has of work from a pure stone floor, you have to watch in the kitchen, as it may cause scratches. I have created this situation by I glued a suitable cut, thin silicone mat under. This has the advantage that there are no scratches, the mortar is still non-slip and also the working noise is attenuated.

The exterior of the mortar and the handle of the plunger, are made of polished stone. The optics I personally find very nice and fits well in accordance with our kitchen. The interior and plunger head are made of roughened granite.
The problem is that when Mörserer granite dust arises, like other Rezensionisten wrote, I can not confirm that. Rubbing our granite on granite This happens naturally, but in normal use, I could not tell the abrasion can go had in the Mörsergut. (Tip: Before the first use, we have the mortar cleaned with a steel sponge.).

In the use of the mortar has everything get small, which we gave him and without much effort. Be it grains for example, breads, various spice blends or even a pesto for pasta, everything worked out perfectly. By the roughened surface also smooth grains are well grasped and crushed. Since reducing the cat and mouse game to a minimum.
The cleaning works well, with one but if the weight, of course, have to be careful.
Over time, the shell changes color a little, because the whole ingredients (mainly oils) left their traces that you can not get away without any tools.

All in all, the perfect helper for us, who has found his place.
