I bought a really good marble mortar and pestle ( http://importfood.com/media/mortar_and_pestle_namprik.jpg )a few years ago and threw my garlic press to the wolves. Every garlic press I've ever owned paled in comparison to the m&p in terms of both functionality, fun and cleaning. Cleaning's dead easy, just rinse. No finicky bits to scrape. Plus it's fun to bash stuff around with a big rock. Multi-tasks for chili peppers, ginger and as a spice mill. It also outshines the spice mill in all the categories above.
Most respondents strongly agreed that the mortar and pestle is well designed, produces outstanding results and is easy to clean (98%). One respondent did not choose or did not respond to the question (2%).
Get them in Chinatown for $20 or so, though I suspect this may not help you in time.
