The Bean Machine is a coffeehouse chain from Grand Theft Auto IV.

Description

The Bean Machine replaces Tarbrush Café from the GTA III Era and is a spoof of chains such as Starbucks and Coffee Republic.

Despite its numerous stores throughout Liberty City, 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 be the place to find businessmen and women loading up on overpriced lattes before they head out to work.
