Shoppers looking for the freshest coconut water now have the convenience of drinking directly from a tapped young coconut without any mess. The resealable and reusable cap keeps coconut water fresh for more than three weeks in the refrigerator and reduces waste. The coconut, as a container, uses less packaging and manufacturing materials than traditional boxing, bottling and canning processes, making it a more sustainable consumer choice for the planet.

In 2014, Coco Taps Founder and Chief Coconut-in-Charge Vince Zaldivar, also known as "Coco Vinny," designed the coconut beverage system. After he broke an expensive knife and almost cut off his finger while trying to open a coconut, the Coco Taps Tool Kit was born. Coco Taps uses its patented tools to prepare the coconuts for sale.
