### Background

As part of our ongoing effort to empower independent coffee with resources, tips and best practices to [adapt during the COVID19 crisis](https://blog.joe.coffee/7-steps-for-pickup-only-service-coffee-shop), we are interviewing a series of business owners that are finding ways to safely serve customers and protect baristas. 

First up on our list is an interview with [Nate Murphy of Coffee Ethic](https://thecoffeeethic.com/) in Springfield, Missouri. Coffee Ethic has operated a coffee shop for over 12 years and as a roaster for over 6 years.
