“
Coffe house chain taking over the world one Tiramisu Gunkaccino at a time.
”
— Description at LCN.com.
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.
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".
They are one of the official sponsors of the CNT program I'm Rich in GTA IV.
Influence
It is probably a spoof of chains such as Starbucks and Coffee Bean.

- The beverage named "Speedball" could be a reference to the drug of the same name.

- 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.
- The name might also be a reference to the term "mean machine".
- 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.

- Amusingly, if the game is run in the Traditional Chinese language option, the company is referred as Cool Beans and vice versa.
