Excuse me, pardon me, sheer perfection coming through
Honestly practicing aseptic technique at home isn't that hard. Here's a little secret - most bio lab work isn't done in any kind of clean room; most of the time we just wipe down a lab bench. Having a flow hood helps, though you could mimic it at home by building a little still air box.

Other things you could do - flame sterilize a jar by wetting the inside with alcohol, then burning it off. The same goes for any tools you're using. You can mostly sterilize dry grounds in the oven (jars too). It's hard to sterilize anything with water outside of a pressure cooker or autoclave.

Also, get a cheap box of gloves to wear.
