Bean Machine

"Tastes like fuel. Kicks like a mule."

- GTA IV Website

The Bean Machine is a coffeehouse chain from Grand Theft Auto IV, GTA Chinatown Wars and Grand Theft Auto V.

Description
The Bean Machine replaces Tarbrush Café from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and is a spoof of chains such as Starbucks and Coffee Bean.

Despite its numerous stores throughout Liberty City and Los Santos, the player cannot visit any location. Its advert can be regularly seen on TV and heard on the radio. The chain's slogan (as seen on its website) is "Tastes like fuel, kicks like a mule". The Bean Machine is most likely the place to find businessmen and women loading up on overpriced lattes before they head out to work.

Trivia

 * The beverage named 'High Noon' could be a reference to the mission of the same name from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
 * The beverage named "Speedball" could be a reference to the drug of the same name.
 * The design and coloration of the logo bears a striking resemblance to real life UK-based coffee retailer Costa Coffee, which is rarely seen in the US.
 * The brand is also featured in Rockstar's Manhunt.
 * The coffee bean in the logo resembles a vagina, an example of Rockstar's sexual humor. Despite this, the company's name itself is one of the few instances of non-sexual humor in the series.
 * "Bean Machine" is a derogatory term in parts of Texas for heavily customized trucks and SUVs that are gaudy and/or poorly built and are generally believed or implied to be driven by Hispanic immigrants.
 * It is stated in GTA V that Bean Machine is a popular destination for hipsters. This is a reference to how Starbucks in real life often caters to hipsters.
