5.0 out of 5 stars
Perfect for coding..., November 17, 2006
This review is from: GURU Energy Drink, 100% Natural, 8.4-Fluid Ounce Can (Pack of 24) (Health and Beauty)
I personally am a connoisseur of energy drinks. I rely on caffeine for most of my projects at school and for late night coding sessions as well as marathon gaming. Although energy drinks can be considered a crutch, it's a lifestyle decision that many, many people embrace rather than attempt to avoid... I am one of these people.
That said, Guru Energy is fairly cheap ($1.25USD/can) if you buy it here off Amazon, it comes in the Redbull standard 8.3 fl/oz cans, and is shipped in a suprisingly lightweight and compact case (compare this to Monster, Rockstar, or any other brand with standard 16 fl/oz cans).
The taste, like Guru's website describes, is very indescribable. It is very sharp and light with a medium amount of carbonation. The caffeine buzz is more "natural"... it has more of an upslope and downslope rather than a sudden cracked out (which is arguably awesome too in its own respect) then big crash sort of feeling. This is because the caffeine in Guru is derived from 125mg of Guaranine (Guarana Herb) rather than synthetically separated then added. There is no mention about how much of the 125mg of Guaranine is real caffeine, but since Red Bull checks in at 80mg / 8.3oz it seems that Guru is in pretty good shape.
I think a particular good feature of Guru is that it uses cane sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup. I appriciate a good quality soda, particularly microbrew colas, and they often exclusively contain cane sugar.
So in summary, this energy drink is farily cheap, good buzz, all natural, and great for coding, gaming, or studying.

Professional opinion: GURU Energy Drink is the best ED on the market, October 31, 2006
This review is from: GURU Energy Drink, 100% Natural, 8.4-Fluid Ounce Can (Pack of 24) (Health and Beauty)
I'm a professional chef that went corporate. I discovered energy drinks when I was still in the fine dining scene. I used to buy my entire kitchen staff a Redbull from our bar piror to a busy service to get everyone chraged.
Since then I've tried perhaps 10-15 different energy drinks from all over the world. And after 8 years, I and have dropped my 1 a day Redbull for Guru.
It's honestly 2 steps above the rest in taste, has a smooth yet powerful effect, energizes my mind as well as body and costs less than Rebull and other 8.4oz format drinks.
