Test result preview
The spice jar from Miorkly is a versatile and high-quality product for storing spices in the kitchen. Made from food-safe glass and stainless steel lids, it guarantees that your spices will be stored in a non-toxic, waterproof and moisture-resistant way. The three different openings in the lid are particularly impressive and enable precise dosing. The scope of delivery also includes a funnel, markers and DIY-compatible labels, making it even more user-friendly. The only negative aspect is that the openings are slightly too small for very large spices, such as bay leaves. Overall, however, the product provides an excellent seal and is easy to use.
Advantages
- Food-safe and robust material
- Versatile openings
- Excellent sealing
- Funnel and labels included

The spice jars from Miorkly make a very good visual impression. There are no noticeable manufacturing defects, the glass looks robust and there are no sharp edges or hard transitions. The product also impresses with its appealing, timeless design.
There is no indication of the product’s sustainability. However, the materials used appear to be of a very high quality, which is why we assume that they will last a long time . The spice jars are also made of lead-free, food-safe glass, which is free from harmful substances, waterproof and moisture-resistant. The lid is made of stainless steel and is free from harmful substances. This preserves the flavour of the spices and herbs and protects the contents from moths and insects.

The practical test of the Miorkly spice jars confirms the manufacturer’s promises. They are completely watertight and no water escaped from the jar during the entire test, neither when stationary nor when shaken.
Cleaning in the dishwasher went smoothly, with only minimal water residue remaining in the glass, which was easy to remove. User-friendliness when opening and closing the lid is fully guaranteed, the stainless steel lid is easy to turn and works perfectly, regardless of whether the jar is empty or full.
Odour neutrality is also fully guaranteed, the jar has no inherent odour, so that all the spices filled in retain their natural smell completely.
Overall, the spice jar impresses with its ease of filling and removing the spices and its high quality. The opening is only slightly too small for large leaves such as bay leaf.
The spice jar from Miorkly impresses with its high-quality workmanship and wide range of uses. The aesthetic design and the labels and pens supplied are particularly pleasing. Overall, there is a high level of satisfaction with the product, particularly due to the good balance between size and filling volume as well as the silicone seal, which prevents flavour loss. Despite minor limitations with very large spices, the positive features outweigh the negative ones, so that the product can be rated as highly recommendable.

*Themaximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.5 stars. One common criticism is that the jars wobble when lying down and the openings are not always optimal. Many customers like the fact that the jars have a silicone seal and are supplied with labels and pins. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the seal and user-friendliness were good and that handling was not so good with very large spices.
Prices of up to €51.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €19.99 . The spice jars from Miorkly are therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €29.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
