Emma Chamberlain's organic medium roast: smooth and chocolatey, with origins on the label, but priced like specialty coffee.
Social Dog is Chamberlain Coffee's medium roast, now listed on the brand site as its Organic Medium Roast Coffee Blend. It is a USDA-organic, 100% Arabica blend of Peruvian and Papua New Guinean coffee with listed notes of milk chocolate, roasted cashews and graham cracker. It is a smooth, crowd-pleasing cup for fans of the brand, but at about $1 a cup it costs far more than supermarket staples.

Flavor profile
In the roaster’s words
“Balanced, smooth, and effortlessly sippable… With cozy notes of milk chocolate and roasted cashews. Tasting notes: Milk Chocolate, Roasted Cashews, Graham Cracker.”
How it scored
Cup score out of 10, weighted across five factors.
An easygoing, sweet medium roast with milk-chocolate and nutty notes; pleasant and smooth rather than distinctive.
USDA-organic, specialty-grade 100% Arabica that the brand says is freshly roasted; no roast date is shown on the product page.
About $1.06 a cup at 15 g per cup ($20 for 10 oz), roughly double Dunkin', Community Coffee or Bustelo.
Names its origins (Peru and Papua New Guinea), is certified organic and supports Food4Farmers, but lists no farms or importers.
Huge fan base driven by Emma Chamberlain, with positive creator taste tests, while coffee enthusiasts are more skeptical of celebrity-brand pricing.
