History
Established in 1993.
In 1993 Cappuccino Man owner, Elliot Lewkow moved from Los Angeles, California to the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan originally to sell commercial coffee machines and espresso to restaurants.
While doing a demonstration for a restaurant owner one of the employees said, "Hey, that would be really cool to have at my son's Bar Mitzvah next month!". The lightbulb went on and Elliot quickly realized that he was in the wrong business as he received multiple inquiries for his services that night. "Cappuccino Man" became the first business of it's kind in Michigan and has continued to grow steadily and strive for perfection at every event.
