 I thought vita coco was bad November 11, 2009

Earlier I had tried VitaCoco, I thought that was bad, Zico beat it to the bottom. It was worse than vita coco. If it was not for Amazon's great customer service I would have not even tried ordering Zico after my vita coco experience. I grew up drinking coconut water in our country (India) where we drink it out of coconut, I know I cannot expect the same. In fact even there depending on how old the coconut, you can taste the difference in the water but none of the packaged brands.
I don't know how come Zico is having better rating than VitaCoco, which is why I ordered in first place. I always rely on Amazon customer reviews, which gives me the confidence to buy that product, in this case it failed.
May be people are comparing to sports drink while reviewing rather than coconut water, or they do not have any fresh coconut water experience.
I am still waiting for a good one.
Five star rating for Amazon Customer service....thank you Amazon.

 Taste's just like real coconut water October 28, 2009
P. Lankireddy (OR, USA)
This taste's just like real coconut water. This is the real deal, unlike sugary imitation coconut water sold in most asian stores.
 Great product but Amazon is expensive October 12, 2009

The best coconut water product - tastes great and very close to natural, tastes better than O.N.E.
However, note that Amazon is much more expensive than other places such as Wegmans. As of this writing, Amazon sold twelve 11 oz. packs for $24 and because $24 < $25 and hence no free shipping, you have to double your order for free shipping. Thus you pay $2 a piece for a minimum purchase of $48. On the other hand, at local Wegmans I could buy just one 11 oz pack for $1.79!
O.N.E vs. Vita vs. Zico coconut water October 11, 2009

Each of these three products has a number of reviews. I don't have much to add to any of the individual reviews. Coconut water is great, if you are in the market for a case of it you already know this. But which of these three is the best?
I went around town and found 5 boxes of each of the three brands (15 total) each, with no two boxes of a the same brand coming from the same supplier. The goal was to get a wide range of product batches. This I am happy to report was pointless. All three brands produce an internally consistent product.
I then ordered a 12 pack of all three brands from Amazon. The only significant difference in packaging is that O.N.E. glues a little telescoping straw to each individual box, the other two brands do not. If you are a straw person this is a feature if not this is just more trash, you decide. The amount per container varies slightly by brand but given the price fluctuation on Amazon I don't consider the 0.1 Oz differences an important factor.
All three are made in Brazil, O.N.E. mentions that it is pasteurized the other two do not (nevertheless, I suspect all three are).
On pure taste, at refrigerator temperature, I found Zico to be the best (say 5/5), but only nominally better than O.N.E. (4.5/5), Vita was a distant third (3/5). Both Zico and O.N.E. taste almost exactly like drinking right from a fresh green coconut. Vita, on the other hand, has a grape aftertaste which I did not like. At room temperature the order remained the same; however, the differences in taste became more obvious: Zico (5/5), O.N.E. (4/5), Vita (2/5). Obviously all of this is subjective.
I observed the price of three on Amazon over the course of a month. Zico (~$24) was consistently more expensive than the other two (~$18-21) which traded places as the least expensive.
Considering the price and quality, O.N.E. is my choice and the brand to which I now subscribe. I consider Zico an excellent, but over priced, product and Vita an inferior product. If, however, I preferred my coconut water at room temperature I would give strong consideration to paying the extra money for Zico. If I used my coconut water as a mixer I would buy which ever one is cheapest at the time.
All three products are better than nothing (the previous option) and I am happy to see them on the market.
great taste . better when chilled October 7, 2009
B. Teixeira (Brazil)
Great real coconut young coconut taste. Not the usual overwhelming sweet taste seen on other coconut water canned drinks. Good on the environment. Made in Brazil. Even better.
