BydgoszczAudun CoffeeAudun Coffee is a specialty roaster founded in December 2014 in Bydgoszcz, Poland, by Audun Sørbotten, a Norwegian-born roaster who holds the 2015 World Coffee Roasting Championship title. The operation is built around sourcing small lots from individual farms or tightly defined farmer groups — the kind of micro-selections that rarely reach retail channels outside of specialty wholesale. Sørbotten spent seven years at Solberg & Hansen in Oslo (2006–2013), one of Norway's most established specialty roasters and importers, before relocating to Poland and launching Audun Coffee at the end of 2014. The move planted a Scandinavian-trained sensibility in central Poland, where the roastery has grown through wholesale and online retail rather than a traditional café footprint. Co-roaster Mateusz Karczewski trained fully at Audun Coffee and went on to win the Polish Roasting Competition in 2019, finishing third at the World Coffee Roasting Competition that same year in Taipei. The roastery runs a Probatone 12 drum roaster from 2014 as its primary machine, with a Stronghold S7 Pro reserved for the most exclusive lots. Sourcing leans direct: Sørbotten prioritizes paying above certification-program rates in exchange for access to small, high-scoring harvests chosen strictly on cup quality. The lineup splits between filter-oriented coffees and espresso, sold wholesale to cafés and resellers, with individual consumers directed to Coffeedesk.com.
RedlandsAugie's CoffeeAugie's Coffee is a specialty roaster and café based in Redlands, California. The founder and founding date are not publicly documented, but the shop built a regional reputation as a small-batch operation—Life and Thyme described it as a roaster that 'values quality and community above everything else'—before a series of upheavals reshaped its story into something far more complicated. Augie's earned enough early attention to land in Sprudge's 'Build-Outs of Summer' series, which profiled the opening of a new location at 300 E State St Suite 100, Redlands—a benchmark in specialty-coffee coverage reserved for notable new builds. Life and Thyme later ran a feature titled 'The Odyssey of Augie's Coffee,' a title that would prove understated. Barista Magazine reported that the Redlands location was forced to relocate after the landlord issued a three-week vacate notice with no stated explanation. The disruption didn't stop there: workers organized under Augie's Union, affiliating with UE (United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America). Management responded by laying off its workers—an action the workers characterized as illegal—effectively ending Augie's in its original form. Out of that labor dispute emerged Slow Bloom Coffee Cooperative, founded by former Augie's workers at 420 W Colton Ave in Redlands. The co-op's current menu offers traceable, producer-named single-origins—a Honduras José Mancia Washed Typica, a Costa Rica El Manzanal White Honey Catuai, an Ethiopia Solomon Hamiso Natural Landrace, and a Honduras Victoria Aguirre Washed Bourbon, each in the $22–$22.50 range—suggesting continuity with the sourcing philosophy the original shop was known for.
