I’m having this cup of AH French Roast brewed from a Senseo single serve coffee machine deep in the northern California mountains, just a little northwest of a little town called Hyampom.
I’m here visiting my in-laws with my wife and daughter and I’m enjoying this cup of coffee off the grid. Yesterday to ensure we had enough power to fire up the Senseo so I could review coffee pods here in California for Single Serve Coffee.com we had to hike up the creek and clean out the blocked water wheel. Wild.
You have to appreciate a cup of coffee that you hiked nearly 3 miles, laid down in a creek cleaning out leaves from an intake for the water to power the pelton wheel, and then returning in the morning for some charged batteries, and praying the coffee maker didn’t kill the entire amount of power you made in the night.
Well - the French Roast coffee is pretty darn good. We are enjoying not only the coffee but the setting in the mountains and having family around to enjoy with the coffee.
Each time I come to Hyampom, I’m amazed at how lucky one is to enjoy any of the modern wonders like coffee machines, computers, and the telephone. I love coffee and I love this place.

Guest Cup 49 is from our new friend Jay Brewer of SingleServeCoffee.com. Jay has just about convinced me to pick up a podbrewer. I think I read somewhere that I can make my own Major Dickason pods… Thanks you for the cup Jay. I understand the lengths we go to enjoy our fave cuppas. Cheers.

Hi Jay,
I bought the old bar/cafe in Hyampom and am refurbishing it into a coffee house for Ragtime music. It won’t be open for business until 2008. We are presently using it as a family vacation home…but we do have a brand new fancy, hightech coffee machine. You are always welcome to stop in for a cup of coffee…we have electricity so you can even brew your own coffee. (maybe you can teach us how to use the new-fangled machine?)
Best regards,
The Rae Family
