Nice product

This is for roasting sesame but I used it for coffee roasting after seeing similar ones in Tokyo and seeing it used on vidos online (Japanese on youtube) My first try was amateur but still quite tasty. Sold me on home roasting without investing a lot on a roaster to start. Ive used a cast iron pan before and it was terrible so really happy with this roaster.

Well made, handle didn't get hot, you can see the beans roasting so you know how dark the roast. It's small so you can't roast too much but if you don't mind that, it's great. Looking forward to my next batch. Recommend for small batch or someone who wants to try home roasting without much of an investment. Compact and I have a feeling you'll get heavenly sesame out of it, too!

Does what it's supposed to. No seeds fall out during use. I use it over a gas stove

I have used this now for 3 years, multiple times a week. It is very light and some reviewers have mentioned it is flimsy. From my experience it should be used over a low to medium heat, not a high heat or an open flame.

I have used it for sesame seeds (white and black) and frequently use it for roasting indian spices prior to grinding. I have not had any issues with stuff coming out the mesh, or the roaster opening. If the top latch becomes weak, just rebend the tang the holds it closed. I have never need to do this, but it is clearly easy to fix.

I use it most of the time flat side down on an induction cooktop, i much prefer using this to roasting such spices on a cast iron skillet, it is much easier to control the heat applied to the spices and roast them evenly with this device. The mesh works well for rotating and flipping the spices inside. It is easy to open when hot, and easy to empty the roasted contents into a mortar or spice grinder to process further. The roaster holds plenty product to be roasted, and being lightweight is easy to use on a cooktop or burner.

As it is high grade stainless cleaning is easy as well, on the rare occasions it gets stained, a little bar keepers friend will clean it right up.

Smaller than expected, not all that sturdy. I am guessing it won't last long as a fully functional item. I do like the screen that latches over it.
