How to use the COCOTAP®

Clutch the handle so that the solid side rests in the base of your palm. Use your knuckles, as in the picture, or thumb and forefinger to stabilize the shaft while pushing and twisting the spike into the middle of the coconut. Aim perpendicular to the inner shell so that the force applied pierces, rather than skips off, the inner shell. Remove by twisting out and drink through a straw.

If the coconut inner shell is too well developed to twist and push straight through, stop forcing and hold the COCOTAP handle upright. Then lightly strike the end, using a hammering device. Alternatively, invert the coconut with COCOTAP aimed at core then tap the end of the handle on a solid surface  using the weight of the coconut as the "hammer" onto the COCOTAP spike. Note: The COCOTAP is not designed to penetrate fully matured coconuts, except through the soft eye once dehusked Remove the COCOTAP by the opened handle, twisting it out, then insert a drinking straw or two.

If a straw is not readily available, simply tap two holes and drink or pour directly from the lower hole.

If necessary, clean the core of husk fibre from the COCOTAP through the inspection port, with the tool supplied, or this can be done using a coconut stalk of suitable diameter or any slightly flexible rod, screw driver etc. Note: depending on technique, coconut maturity, shell and husk density, the core often does not lodge in the COCOTAP.
