"Founded in 1999 by Duane Sorenson in his native Oregon"这一部分是过去分词作状语，逻辑主语还是主句中的主语"it"，谓语"turned into"，宾语"a national phenomenon"，同时在谓语部分还存在并列的关系， 想到那个与另外一个分句，为主系表结构，系词"was"，表语"at the forefront of the small-scale retailers"，"that"引导定语从句，并在从句中做主语，从句的谓语"position"，宾语"coffee-making, and coffee-drinking"，"as a kind of art form"可以看成是宾语补语，"as"和"position"组成相对固定的说法"position...as"---“把某物定位成”。
