אָמַר: שֶׁמֵּעוֹלָם לֹא שָׁתָה אֲפִלּוּ מַיִם קֹדֶם הַתְּפִלָּה, וְהִקְפִּיד מְאֹד עַל אֵלּוּ הַשּׁוֹתִין קַאוֶוע [קפה] וְכַיּוֹצֵא בָּזֶה קֹדֶם הַתְּפִלָּה.

**Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973:**
The Rebbe said that he never as much as drank water before his morning prayers. He was greatly opposed to those who drank coffee and other beverages before praying.³⁶² II, 215b; ibid., III, 141b; *Orach Chaim* 89:3-4; *Be'er Hetiv* 89:11.
