spice grinder

Cumin crushing device

A spice grinder is a small device for pulverizing whole spices into powder.

Electric versions resemble small blenders; manual ones are typically mortar-and-pestle sets or hand-cranked mills.

Many cooks keep a dedicated coffee grinder for spices to avoid flavor contamination: I use my spice grinder for cumin and coriander seeds.
