Super Coffee has more caffeine than GURU Original: 200mg vs 140mg in the same 12 oz bottle. That is a 60mg gap, and since the cans match, the per-serving number is the whole story.

Energy drinks and sodas list an exact number because caffeine is a measured additive; brewed drinks vary with the beans and the brew, so their figures are compiled averages. The numbers here are the standard published values for each.

Which one should you pick?
Pick GURU Original when you want the lighter dose or a slower ramp, and Super Coffee when you actually need the bigger hit and know your tolerance. If you are stacking either with other caffeinated drinks through the day, run the math against the 400mg reference rather than guessing.
For context, the FDA cites 400mg of caffeine a day as an amount generally not associated with negative effects in healthy adults. Tolerance and health vary, so treat these numbers as information, not advice.
