'I was a diehard Chemex person my whole life,' she told the Strategist. 'And I have some good friends who had a baby before me, and they were like, “You’re not gonna wanna do that.” I can tell you right now what you’re not gonna wanna do, and that’s make a Chemex. I’m also not the kind of person who drinks coffee first thing in the morning all the time. I’m more of a 10:30, 11:00 a.m. coffee person. But I really, really rely on it. And I really like my hot black coffee in the morning.'
