Discover Pilot Coffee Roasters – Toronto's Award-Winning Specialty Roaster

Pilot Coffee Roasters was founded in 2009 in Toronto's Leslieville neighbourhood, originally operating as Te Aro Coffee Roasters — a name inspired by founder Andy Wilkin's New Zealand roots. The company began as a small café and micro-roastery, supplying coffee, equipment and training to a growing community of café owners across the city. By 2013 it had rebranded as Pilot Coffee Roasters and moved its roasting operations to its current Toronto headquarters.

The roastery's commitment to quality earned it national recognition as Roast Magazine's 2014 Micro Roaster of the Year. Central to Pilot's philosophy is direct trade sourcing: building transparent, long-term relationships with producers and travelling to origin to select exceptional green coffee. This focus on traceability and sustainability runs from farm to cup, and has helped shape modern specialty coffee culture in Toronto and across Canada.

Pilot's small-batch roasting highlights balance, clarity and sweetness, with a recognizable signature of caramel, chocolate and brown-sugar notes depending on origin. Its carefully crafted blends — including the sweet, full-bodied Heritage and a naturally processed decaf — are roasted for any brewing method, performing equally well as filter coffee or espresso for everyday drinkers and home baristas alike.

At ECS Coffee, we're proud to carry a curated selection of Pilot Coffee Roasters whole bean coffee, helping you bring award-winning Toronto specialty coffee into your own kitchen. Explore our Pilot collection to discover fresh-roasted blends ready to grind for filter, pour-over or espresso.

Why Choose ECS Coffee

On-Site Authorized Service & Repair

We are an authorized service centre for trusted brands like Technivorm and Breville in Canada. Our in-house service technicians and wide range of parts ensures support beyond your machine purchase.

Our Machines are Tried & True

We actually use the equipment we sell. Our brewers & espresso machines have been used by our team in our showroom, evaluated for coffee quality, and chosen because we'd put it on our own counters. We don't stock drip brewers just to fill a category.

Coffee + Brewer Expertise in One Place

Unlike big box retailers, we carry the beans to go with the brewer. Our team can recommend the right grind size, coffee origin, and dose for the machine you're buying. The brewer and the coffee are two halves of the same result.

29 Years in Canada

Family-owned since 1996, ECS Coffee is Canada's destination for coffee, espresso gear, and expert service. We know which machines last, which ones fail, and what proper maintenance looks like over a 10-15 year ownership cycle.
