This is a list of the equipment I have or use in my lab and day-to-day workflows.

This is not meant to be a list of endorsements—I have yet to use a perfect piece of equipment—but I grew up looking at the gear lists musicians used on a record. Think of this list like that.

If any one category has multiple items, I’ve denoted my primary with an asterisk.

Many of these items are available via Jeff Bezos’ global shopping platform; I’ve provided direct links to those items below—if you purchase through those links, I will receive an affiliate credit, which will likely be used to purchase more books about coffee.
