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.

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.

this curently is the best energy drink on the market in my opinion. i have tried many of these energy drinks and this one by far is superior for a few simple reasons. 1. no corn syrup 2. no synthetic vitamins 3. no extreme high and then crash and burn 4. it absolutely taste great, not too sweet/ not too carbonated = perfect balance 5. it does the job with perfect harmony
the only negative thing i can say, is that it has the notorious natural flavors label, but does not list what all these natural flavors are. we have the food lobbyists to thank for this.
GURU! PLEASE LIST EVERYTHING!

This is by far the best energy drink. It packs a punch without all the garbage other drinks have. The taste is original, non-chemical, and goes down smooth. The Light version is also great, with a very different taste.
Make sure you drink it very cold though.Before drinking any other drink, read the ingredients!

With a formula of all-natural ingredients and a quite flavorful taste, GURU Energy Drink has carved a nice niche in this crowded field of products. The 8.3 ounce can is great to pack in a gym bag or satchel and certainly can be used during those stressful work days. And the cost for the case is certainly a huge plus.

This energy drink is really good. Ignore the reviewer that gave it 3 stars because his body could not get used to Guru's all natural buzz. If you fill your body with unhealthy artificial [...] and then try Guru, your body might freak out. After training your body to Guru's natural ingredients, you won't have to worry about the jump-off-a-cliff effect of unnatural energy drinks. Guru has a soft buzz that definitely picks you up early in the morning, no matter how early you get up. I work a 7AM shift and need to get up around 6. Somedays, my brain is too comatose in the morning and I need Guru to start the day. Somedays, one Guru is not enough and I take half of a second to make it through the day. 98% of the time, one can is enough. Very soft buzz by the end of the day. Don't drink Guru after 4PM or it might keep you awake at night. The drink tastes like soda water, but sweeter and makes your tongue tingle. Definitely does not feel like soda pop. Much healthier too. People should start using Guru in popular bar drinks instead of rolling on E. Much safer and sanitary. Consider your options - natural is better for you in the long run! I'm giving the drink 4 stars because I am field testing the drink for the long run. The jury is still out b/c I've only been using Guru for 3 months now. Good luck on your field tests!

Great deal from Amazon. Was looking for Red Bull but didn't see that. Bought GURU based on the reviews here and it is as good or better then Red Bull. Good price w/ free shipping too! No bad aftertaste and sweetness is just right. You'll like this product! Great for mixing drinks too :)

Pros:
Phoenominal energy drink has a magical energy effect
No palpitation effect like RedBull or other energy drinks
Completely natural and has interesting ingredients that you find in your green tea
Not very sweet at all

Cons:
One minor aspect was that I had to get used to the taste as it is different.

I found that Red Bull was causing a life threatening angio edema and I had to quit using it. Someone recommended Guru original and it is the closest in taste to Red Bull, and so far no allergic reaction.
