Compare the top 3 mortar and pestles in Australia 2026

For most people the ChefSofi Granite Mortar and Pestle is the one to buy, it is unpolished heavy granite with by far the deepest track record here at 17,910 ratings, an interior that grips and shears whole spices, garlic, ginger and wet curry and Thai pastes, and enough weight to stay put on the bench, which is why it is our pick. If you only want to spend a little, the IMUSA Granite Molcajete is the budget winner and the best for guacamole and salsa, a big coarse granite bowl that goes from kitchen to table. The Avanti Marble set is the prettier, smoother marble choice for light spice and herb work from an established Australian homewares brand. The Cole and Mason Granite set is a British heritage black granite bowl for guacamole, hummus, salsa and rubs. The Tefal Jamie Oliver Granite set is the celebrity chef designed pick with an unpolished interior that grips well, and the premium pick is the Gorilla Grip Granite set, polished granite with a non scratch base that is easier to clean.
