B. swears by it (though not by the toasting/dry roasting beforehand that most recipes require). He's bought a dedicated spice grinder so actually grinding the things is a matter of seconds if you skip the dry roasting step. But I have no idea if it actually makes any real difference to the recipe. I imagine a tablespoon of ground cumin would certainly be almost as good if that was what you had to hand.
