Ad Astra Per Aspera  - To The Stars Through Adversity

Our Team

Our Mission

Our goal is to create extraordinary quality in the cup, value for our producers and customers, and strong local communities. Being community oriented means we must serve. We do this by creating an exceptional experience for everyone who drinks our coffee.

Our Story

Ad Astra Roasters, founded by US Marine veteran Patrick and his wife Kristi, is a family-owned business in Hillsdale, Michigan. The couple met at Hillsdale College and, after Patrick's service in the Marine Corps, returned home with a passion for specialty coffee.

What began as a personal hobby evolved into Ad Astra Roasters, where they perfected their roasting skills using various machines and techniques. Today, Ad Astra operates a 3kg Mill City Roaster, delivering handcrafted specialty coffee to shops and enthusiasts nationwide.

Our Commitment

At Ad Astra Roasters, we are dedicated to delivering exceptional quality in every cup, ensuring that each coffee experience is rich, flavorful, and crafted with care. We prioritize transparency and integrity, making your satisfaction our top priority.

For our producers, we are committed to building fair and sustainable relationships. We ensure fair compensation, support ethical sourcing, and contribute to the well-being of the communities where our coffee is grown. Our goal is to honor the dedication of everyone involved, from farm to cup.
