Question
I drink coffee at work, and next to me sits a friend who also drinks coffee. Is it permissible for me to step outside for a few minutes if my friend maintains the consistency for a blessing for me?
Answer
Since you are not eating or drinking together consistently, but rather coincidentally both drinking coffee, and you have no obligation to return to the place of drinking coffee because of the friend. Therefore, when you return to your place and wish to drink, you need to recite the first blessing again.
