- One should only make the Bracha only after one has the food available and present so that the Bracha can take effect on something. Therefore, one should open the packaging of the food prior to the Bracha. [1]
- one who drinks from a water-fountain, ideally, should have the water in a cup prior to the Bracha, however if that’s not possible, one should let the water run from the faucet momentarily prior to making the Bracha. If that last options isn’t possible or one is concerned about wasting water, may make the Bracha on the water even before letting it run. [2]

- ↑ Vezot haBracha (pg 8) based on Mishna Brurah 206:19 writes that ideally one should have water in a cup so that the food is present during the Bracha. However, if that’s impossible, Rav Pinchas Sheinburg (quoted by Vezot HaBracha) suggests letting the water run prior to the Bracha so that it’s evident what one is making a Bracha on. Lastly, if that’s impossible, one may make the Bracha even while the faucet is closed.
