The 248 Story

Our Story

248 Roasters was born out of a love for coffee—and an even deeper love for Michigan. Founder BK Khosla grew up in the heart of the 248, surrounded by the energy, grit, and community spirit that make this place feel like home. He saw coffee not just as a drink, but as a daily ritual that connects people, places, and stories. What started as a personal passion became a mission: to roast coffee that captures the essence of Michigan in every cup.

Why 248?

The name says it all. ‘248’ is our home, and every bag we roast is a tribute to it. From downtown Detroit to lakefront cabins up north, Michigan offers a blend of strength, soul, and simplicity—and that’s what we aim to deliver in every brew. Whether it’s your morning go-to or your weekend slow-down, our coffee brings that Pure Michigan feeling to your mug.

How We Roast

We believe in doing things the right way, not the fast way. That’s why we roast in small batches, using only high-quality, single-origin beans sourced from ethical farms. Each roast is crafted to highlight the bean’s natural character—bold, smooth, or vibrant—with no shortcuts, no blends masking the truth. It’s honest coffee. Just like the people we roast it for.

Brewed in Michigan. Shared Everywhere.

We’re proud to be Michigan-based, but our coffee is made for everyone who craves quality and connection. Whether you’re grabbing a cup before heading out to work, relaxing on a porch, or catching up with friends, we’re here to be part of your moment. 248 Roasters is more than a brand—it’s a story brewed one cup at a time.

A Healthier Roast, Naturally

We care about what goes into your cup—and your body. Our roasting process is designed not just for flavor, but for well-being. We roast in clean, small batches with carefully monitored temperatures to reduce bitterness, preserve antioxidants, and avoid harmful byproducts often found in over-roasted or mass-produced beans. The result? A cup that’s not just smoother and more flavorful, but easier on your system too.

Single-Origin with Purpose

We don’t just choose single-origin beans for flavor—we choose them for integrity. Every bag of 248 Roasters coffee comes from a specific region, a single source we trust. That means no mystery blends, no fillers—just pure, traceable coffee that delivers big on taste and transparency.
