Pilot Coffee Roasters

Corporations Canada's federal registry shows Pilot Coffee Corp. (incorporated 2012-08-14 under the Canada Business Corporations Act, number 827388-0) registered at 50 Wagstaff Drive, Toronto, the same address as the roastery, with Andrew Wilkin, Robert Wilkin, and Jessie Wilkin as directors and no individuals with significant control filed. The corporation was discontinued federally on 2021-01-04 by continuing into Ontario under the Business Corporations Act; the Ontario Business Registry blocks automated search with a captcha, so the post-2021 ownership record could not be independently confirmed, and this rests on the federal registry's last snapshot plus the vendor's own founder-led framing on its Our Story page.

Green coffee cannot be grown in Canada, so every bean Pilot roasts is imported through direct trade relationships with producers. Its current single-origin lineup names beans from Ethiopia, Kenya, Brazil, Colombia, Papua New Guinea, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Mexico, all in Latin America, Africa, or the Asia-Pacific, so the mix goes entirely to OTHER with no stated origin in the US or EU.

• Specialty Coffee vendor_statement “Ana Sora – Ethiopia ... Kii – Kenya ... Anahi – Brazil ... Las Palmas 'Espresso' – Colombia ... Kunjin – Papua New Guinea ... Catalan 'Red Bourbon' - Guatemala ... Ruby – Costa Rica Blend ... Nantic – Mexico”
• Coffee Sourcing vendor_statement “direct trade is when a roaster buys coffee directly from a producer. No brokers, traders or middle-people.”
