Hi-Plane Coffee Company

hi-plane roasts with intention, and you can feel that in the weight of the cup before you even drink. this is a roaster-first operation, which means the coffee isn't an afterthought to the atmosphere. athens, alabama doesn't have a sprawling specialty scene, so a place like this on n jefferson st ends up carrying real responsibility for the city's coffee standards, and from what's here, they take that seriously. the sourcing decisions, the roast profiles, the consistency across visits, all of it points to people who understand what they're doing and aren't guessing. if you're passing through limestone county or just crossing town, it's worth timing your stop around a morning pour.
