An iPhone and an unkempt 11" MacBook Air (with a large external monitor) both running one generation behind on their operating systems (for reasons I'd probably have to sit on a therapist's couch to fully unravel).
My iPad mini is great for most everything.
I carry a small Gerber Paraframe Mini folding knife which is handy for working around the roastery, opening bags of green coffee, opening mail.
I usually travel with a Japanese Porlex Mini hand grinder.
After years of being a skeptic, I've come around to the Aeropress and have been using it as my default coffee brewing gizmo.
Ristretto (for 13 inch laptops)+ 1 other
My Tom Bihn Ristretto laptop bag is just right in terms of size and ergonomics.
For serious travel I have a 511 Tactical backpack that my pal Sean Bonner recommended to me (he uses one as a bug out bag).
