The "Shehakol" Blessing at the End of a Meal - Ish Tsadik
Question:
s there a source for reciting the blessing of "Shehakol" over coffee at the end of a meal (after eating bread)?
Answer

Yes, the Chayei Adam ruled this way. However, the final Halacha does not follow his opinion. Some are meticulous to recite a “Shehakol” blessing on something small before the meal (as is the widespread custom among Chassidim), thereby exempting the coffee served at the end of the meal from requiring its own blessing. I heard that this was also the custom of Maran the Imrei Emes of Gur, zy”a.
