Pros: Great Rosle construction, great looks, and the plastic end that comes in contact with the fruit has a diamond cut pattern that helps grip the limes...a feature I now look for in my muddlers, as it really aids in extracting the oils and juices from the fruit.

Cons: It's about 3 inches too short. Even in a small 8 oz. shaker tin, I have to be cautious not to scrape my nuckles on the edge of the tin. Forget about using it in a standard 16 oz. shaker tin. So if you only do your muddling in a small rocks glass, then this is a good choice.

With the Caipirinha being my favorite mixed drink, I have always used a wooden pestle/muddle, and never knew the difference - until now.

This pestle/muddle is very comfortable in the hand, and the diameter is large enough that it is easy to grasp and does not slip through the hand when applying pressure to mash the fruit.

The length is very nice, at 24cm (about 9.75 inches), which is longer that what is shown in the specs. Perhaps they have lengthened the muddle due to customer demand. I actually purchased this and another brand as I though this would be shorter in length, and I wanted one long enough to use in a shaker - no need to spend the extra money - this will take care of all your needs.

This Rosle pestle/muddle is more expensive than the 'MIU 10 inch Stainless Steel Mojito Muddler', but is different in the following ways:

*Larger diameter

*1/4 inch shorter in length

*The green head which mashes the fruit is flat on the Rosle, whereas the head on the MIU is concave, which means it will not mash quite as easily or well, but will get the job done.

I highly recommend both this Rosle and the MIU pestle/muddle. Not only do they function well, but they look very cool when you pull them out to mix up a Caipirinha for you and your friends!

This little tool is great! I use it to mash bananas for banana bread. It works really for this task and is very easy to clean! And it's attractive, too!

When I building my bar, I wanted quality prducts. When I saw this muddler, I knew I had to have it. Who wants wood when you can get stainless steel and nylon? Besides, this is dishwasher safe.

This tool fits nicely in my hand. It does a good job of bruising and crushing ingredients inside the glass. It works well in my tall and old fashioned glases; I like it better in the shorter glasses because it's easier to maneuver. I highly recommend this to all my fellow mojito lovers!

It muddles with the best of them... Its perfect, and can be cleaned in the dish washer

Pretty pricey considering it's MADE IN CHINA. I was under the impression that Rosle products are German made, thus justifying the premium price; NOT SO. Comparable (imho) products (Swissmar) are 1/3 the price.

Great muddler. Feels very solid. Nice brushed steel look and bright green end that looks like it will last for decades. Rosle products are very high quality. Highly recommended.

.... aside from its less-than-desirable provenance (which Amazon COULD have disclosed in the Product Description), there is the matter of size and weight. The thing is enormous. Indeed, it is so big and bulky that the following would not be unwarranted:

WARNING: Operate with extreme caution around small children and fragile crystal glassware.

It's going back to Amazon (and from there, hopefully, to China)in the morning's post.

This kitchen / bar accessory is great. Fits the hand perfectly and has me muddling like a pro. Quality & functionality all in one.

Muddle over your issues with a caipirinha made with your lime-muddler, simple syrup, and lots and lots of cachaca made from real brazilian cane sugar for a sweet and potent citrusy beverage while you jam on some MPB!

The best mudle/pestle for your highball glass! Mush that lime and ice up Baby! It's like a weekend in Barra da Tijuca and Leblon listening to cachaca-fueled chorinhos! Bem Vindo A Nirvana Filho de Ghandi!
