I don't think I got the "turbo", I just asked for coffee. The lid had the little dimples on top to indicate what's in it ( like the soft drink ones do ), and it looks like no dimples pressed in equals regular.
What was strange was the flavor. It was coffee, but it tasted like coffee flavored coffee. Kinda like coffee flavored candies do. If I were to guess, it would be as if someone added some instant coffee to brewed coffee.
Supposedly the whole "Joe" stuff is 100% Arabica, but it didn't taste like any coffee I'd ever had before.
Not something I'm in a hurry to try again.
