- Mug

Need a container to dispense coffee into? That autoclaved beaker certainly won’t do. If you’ve noticed your scientist colleague hovering around the coffee machine with said beaker, please get him or her a mug. Ideally, the mug should have a nerdy design printed on it, or even better, a temperature-sensitive motif that changes when hot liquid is poured into it. But please, have some sincerity and don’t just wrap a common mug in autoclave tape.
