Mortars and spice grinders
There is no doubt that mortar is one of the accessories whose design is to be admired! Designers go to great lengths to create an instrument that is not only practical, but also extremely stylish for crushing and grinding spices and herbs. Stone mortars (granite, marble) are the most common choice, but the slightly more subtle ceramic or porcelain mortars are also very popular. There is also an interesting alternative in the form of cast-iron mortars.
But the world does not end with kitchen mortars! Below you will also find a wide selection of spice mills, for crushing chilli peppers, Tonka beans, cumin... We have also created a special, separate category for nutmeg mills. Those who love tradition can choose a manual spice mill, while those who appreciate convenience can choose an electric one.

A kitchen mortar and a spice grinder are accessories that should find a place in every kitchen. Freshly ground favorite spices give prepared dishes an even deeper flavor and a unique aroma. At FormAdore, a wide selection of grinders and mortars awaits you, see for yourself!
Why use spice grinders?
Spice grinders are incredibly practical tools created for lovers of aromatic dishes and spices from all corners of the world. Spices ground fresh before adding to a dish give it character and fully release their complete flavor. Regardless of whether you need a salt and pepper grinder, or you want to grind your favorite oriental spice, a spice grinder will work perfectly in every case. With its help, you can easily crush cumin, chili pepper, or Himalayan salt, which will delight you with their freshness and aroma. At FormAdore, we also have a selection of special nutmeg grinders.
Spice grinder – electric or manual?
In the FormAdore offer, you will find both an electric spice grinder and a manual spice grinder. Which one will turn out to be a better choice? It all depends on personal preferences. If you value convenience, an electric spice grinder should meet your expectations. It allows for precise grinding of spices effortlessly and in a very short time. A manual spice grinder, on the other hand, is a solution for people who value tradition, who prefer to perform all cooking activities themselves. A manual spice grinder handles grinding just as well as an electric spice grinder.
What is a mortar used for?
A spice mortar is a great alternative to a grinder. The product is used for crushing, grinding, and pounding spices, as well as for creating blends from aromatic herbs. With a mortar, you can also prepare an aromatic marinade or crush nuts. A special pestle in the mortar allows for making herbal compositions and spice blends. Mortars allow you to adjust the coarseness of spices to the dish being prepared, which is why an increasing number of people cannot imagine a kitchen without this accessory. Moreover, a mortar is a stylish decoration for almost any kitchen interior.
Types of kitchen mortars
We distinguish many types of mortars. They are usually made of massive, durable materials. If you are looking for an exceptionally durable product, a cast iron mortar will be a good choice. It is much heavier than others and allows for grinding even the hardest spices, both wet and dry. A stone mortar with high durability is also highly regarded (e.g., a granite mortar or a marble mortar). A brass mortar also stands out for its high quality of workmanship – thanks to its original design, it also serves a decorative function. Ceramic and porcelain mortars are the most common products in our kitchens, allowing for squeezing juice from herbs and grinding dry spices. A wooden mortar can also be an excellent choice – however, it is worth paying attention to the type of wood it is made from. This will help avoid unwanted discoloration and deformation of the tool.
A wide selection of herb and spice accessories – only with us
At FormAdore, you will also find herb pots, where you can grow your favorite herbs. Take care of them so you can chop fresh, aromatic leaves with the help of graters, scissors, and herb choppers. If you want to grind them with our grinders, stylish spice containers may come in handy.
