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 The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.
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.
