The Bean Machine is a coffeehouse chain corporation. The player can buy stocks from them in the Lcn-exchange.com website in GTA 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. It is referenced in the mission "Reuniting the Family".
