Meet The Owner

“It’s the quiet moments of clarity, the shared conversations with loved ones, and the ritual that brings people together.” As a veteran of the Connecticut Army National Guard and the eldest of six, Michael honed resilience, discipline, and leadership early. Advanced degrees from UCONN, combined with a period of self-discovery and a transformative trip to Italy with his father, reignited his passion for coffee, connection, tradition, and intentional living. “It’s a way for us to slow down and ground ourselves in the present before energizing back up.” The spark for Tap That came during a trip to Austin, TX, where Michael discovered an innovative coffee vending machine. Inspired to merge his passion, entrepreneurial drive, and vision, Tap That was born. What began as a local venture has quickly grown, now serving businesses across New England, with ambitions to expand along the East Coast.
