Yes, the guayusa in Brain Upgrade does contain caffeine. It's a naturally caffeinated leaf from the Amazon rainforest, traditionally brewed into a tea by Indigenous peoples of Ecuador and surrounding areas.

Here's a quick breakdown:

Caffeine content is similar to or slightly less than a cup of coffee, but more than green tea.

Other compounds: Guayusa also contains theobromine (like in chocolate), triterpenoids & polyphenols (anti-oxidants), and L-theanine, which may help smooth out the energy boost and reduce the jittery feeling often associated with coffee.

Brain Upgrade is a very potent and powerful nootropic concentrate. We recommend starting with 10 drops of Brain Upgrade added to 1 ounce of hot water and slowly sipping.

This small dose contains 510mg of nootropic herbs

As coffee lovers we know that great coffee starts with great beans. But whatever beans you use, our ceramic burrs will ensure that they are ground to the consistent, precise grains needed for an excellent drink. And BeanMaestro technology (*available on Xelsis only) will even automatically adjust brewing settings to bring out the best in your choice of beans.

Saeco machines are designed to make things as simple as possible to enjoy the perfect cup of coffee. Aquaclean filters reduce the build up of scale that can damage your machine and HygieSteam technology cleans milk deposits from the steamer. To keep your machine brewing great coffee cup after cup, only use Saeco approved cleaning products and follow the regular cleaning scheduled outlined in your user manual.

Our machines are built from the finest materials in our Italian workshops, but we know that sometimes problems do occur. For troubleshooting particular issues please visit our support pages and feel free to contact us here. Of course, our machines are all guaranteed for two years - please visit your Saeco retailer for information about service and warranty.
