He said that the turbo coffee has become the favorite in recent weeks. However, he strongly opposes customers to try the beverage for fun, and warns people with health conditions ahead of time. "I have a quite detailed talk with people before they actually purchase one. If I can talk someone out of it, they're not ready for the drink," said Benington.
It is also important to remember that warning signs of coffee overdose include shakes and sweats, dilated pupils, stammering over your words, vertigo and nausea. "If you keep going, those symptoms will get worse," said the coffee-loving business owner. "If you stay within the guidelines, you're fine."
