I actually gave up coffee and chocolate while I was pregnant and nursing — almost four years (I nursed for three years)! Before that, I was pounding four or five double-shot macchiato brèvés dusted with cocoa powder every day at our café, plus two or three Cappuccino au Choclats per week thrown in.

I never did go back to that level of coffee consumption. Now, I have my vat-o-coffee in the morning, and no more for the day.
