The Bean Machine is a coffeehouse chain corporation in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V. The player can buy stocks from them in the Lcn-exchange.com website in GTA V.
Description
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. A Bean Machine store appears in the mission "Reuniting the Family".
They are one of the official sponsors of the CNT program I'm Rich in GTA IV.
Website
beanmachinecoffee.com is the official website for Bean Machine. It has detailed information on Bean Machine products, like a list of specials and cup sizes, which may be a reference to bra sizes. It promotes extreme franchising to destroy competitors, coffee for children, and caffeine.
Influence
It is probably a spoof of chains such as Starbucks and Coffee Bean.
The design and coloration of the logo bears a striking resemblance to real life UK-based coffee retailer Costa Coffee. Costa Coffee is ironically the second largest Coffeehouse chain in the world, but is extremely uncommon in the US.
Locations
Grand Theft Auto IV

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.
- An ingredient of the Speedball drink is bat guano, or droppings. This could be a reference to the term "batshit", which describes something crazy.
- This may be a reference to Kopi Luwak, a coffee that uses partially digested coffee cherries from the Asian palm civet.
- 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.
- It is stated in GTA V that Bean Machine is a popular destination for hipsters; this is a reference to a stereotype that Starbucks is popular among hipsters.
- The company sponsors Prop 14, a proposition to ban alcohol, likely because banning alcohol would cause an increase in the consumption and production of caffeine.
- Amusingly, if the game is run in the Traditional Chinese language option, the company is referred as Cool Beans and vice versa.

- Tarbrush Café, the predecessor to The Bean Machine.
