Default How to crush coriander seed?

I plan on making a Belgian Wit next week that calls for crushed coriander seed. In my last order I bought some coriander seed from the HBS, however it does not appear to be crushed. How can I crush it to use in the boil? Or can I just adjust the amount and/or boil time and use uncrushed seed?

Thanks
Craig

I squish it with a glass until the seeds are all broken.

I have used a pepper grinder set to coarse with success. Just make sure you get all of the pepper out first.

I've done it with a muddler in a glass, and I've also been told that using a wine bottle with a flatter bottom and a sauce pan will work pretty well.

I did the same. It works REALLY well if you hook a cordless drill up to the pepper grinder. Just don't let SWMBO catch you doing that...

electric coffee grinder works wonders. I used to keep one around just for spices. It died though, so now I have to clean out the one I use coffee for which is a PITA. Think I'll add one to my shopping list next time I go to Costco. You can also use a food processor and just pulse it.

In a pinch, spoonin'. Just one spoon over another. Use it for grains of paradise and cardamom seeds as well.

I put the coriander in a zipbag and smashed them with flat side of a meat tenderizer
