Buy Cumin Seed Whole or Ground?

In your cooking, should you use cumin that was ground at a food processing plant or grind your own fresh cumin powder at home? For best flavor, buy in seed whole and grind it in a small coffee mill (one that you dedicate for spice grinding). Keep a small stash of fresh ground cumin for your cooking, perhaps about one month's worth of ground cumin. Your cumin powder will be exceptionally fresh and you will always have a good supply.
