I think the mortar comes in cup sizes...D... well, you asked.
Um, you'll have tell us which pestle size you prefer... just wrap your
hand around a few with your eyes closed, you'll know. hehe

You do realize that you need to properly season and care for a stone
mortar and pestle. I much prefer the Mexican style ones carved of
lava rock, I like that they have legs that raise them up off the table
so you can slip your fingers all the way underneath, makes it much
less fatiguing to hold for steadying as you pound.

You'll use it maybe three times and then like most everyone else
you'll retire it to be used as a decoration.
