C2O - Coconut Water, The Original Flavor (12 Pack) - Made with Fresh Coconut Water, Plant Based - Non GMO Canned Water - Natural Hydration, Essential Electrolytes, & Potassium - 12 Cans, 17.5 FL OZ

I purchased a case of three different brands of coconut water from Amazon to compare; UFC (the brand is actually UFC), C2O and Vita Coco. While at Whole Foods I talked to the man who stocked the coconut water section and I learned two things.First, he told me when I asked which coconut water tasted best that it depended on the lot. He explained that since coconuts were plants, each harvest was different and that the SAME brand varied in taste depending on the lot. I guess it is kind of like wine.Second, he said that different coconut waters contain different levels of sugar and that I should note the sugar content on the package.With that additional information in mind, I considered that various lots may be different in taste but the sugar content on the label should remain fairly consistent.Among the three coconut waters C2O tasted the sweetest but I liked the flavor of UFC best. That's purely a personal opinion. My guess is that most would like C2O best due to it's sweeter taste.C2O was sweetest, UFC next and Vita Coco least sweet.I then compared the amount of sugar listed on the label. Although there should be no added sugar, coconut water contains natural sugar. I am listing the sugar per ounce since the sugar is listed on the label as per serving but serving size varies from 8 ounces to 11.1 ounces therefore a grams per ounce measurement gives you an apples to apples comparison.C2O 1.5g/oz, VitaCoco 1.35g/oz and UFC 1g/oz.UFC actually tastes sweeter to me than VitaCoco (or rather more flavorful) but has nearly a third less sugar and much less sugar than C2O.For me the choice is clear, UFC. It has the least amount of sugar and it tastes best since I don't prefer overly sweet drinks but I do like the flavor. I bought the UFC in 1L wax paper containers, C2O in 17.5 oz (530ml) cans and VitaCoco in 11.1 oz. wax paper containers.All of the coconut waters tasted very good and I don't think that you will be disappointed in either of them.UPDATE: Oct 2015:C20 has actually reduced the sugar content in the latest 1L carton that I purchased. It is now 7g/serving which is 0.875g/oz. I now buy C2O. C2O is also rather widely available in stores. I changed my rating from 4 stars to 5 stars since the sugar content of C2O is lower than any other that I've seen and it tastes just as good.

I have ordered this twice and will not be ordering again, will be seeking a refund. Cans were almost all dented, and one was leaking. Some customers mention that it has no added sugar but the can says 5gm added sugar per can. I didn't notice any problems with the quality until the last can that I will be drinking... it made my lips numb after drinking some... that can was particularly dented... perhaps it was only that can, but most of the others are dented too so we will see.Update - Waited a while and tried another can... though dented, the quality seems fine.

I ordered these because the price was great and I need to increase my potassium intake. Unbelievably, every single can was dented including the internal ones that were surrounded by other cans. I'm not talking just little dents, 2 were about 50% dented. The mystery to all of this is that the huge box it came in was packed tightly. It had about 5 or 6 other boxes of another product in it and then tons of Amazon's bubble bags or whatever those are called. None of the other boxes had a scratch on them, the larger outer box was not in any overly stressed condition and the packaging to the C2O Pure Coconut Water was also practically unaltered! One corner of the box was slightly pushed in and the plastic to hold the cans in place was a thick plastic and tightly wrapped without a single breach. It is beyond me what the heck happened to these cans.I've had a can of this one before which is why I bought a case of them. C2O's Coconut Water is slightly sweet, overall pleasing flavor although there was a hint of a sour or citus-y aftertaste, that did bother me (I am not a fan of sour foods unless it comes with lots of sugar, which Coconut Water does not and which I stay away from with the exception of lemonade :-) ). So this one is a no go from now on.I also ordered the "Taste Nirvana Real Coconut Water". They came undamaged which is a good thing since they are glass. They were well packaged up. The flavor is nice and finishes clean. You can see my review of it, posted by Deelirious, on this page: http://www.amazon.com/Taste-Nirvana-Coconut-Water-9-5oz/product-reviews/B005H3B7IO/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1I recently have been purchasing the "Taste Nirvana Real Coconut Water" in 16 oz cans. They are wrapped similarly, boxed similarly, but no dents (read a follow up comment from me for this product to understand why I have issues with cans before I handle them that do not retain their shape for whatever reason).So C20 Coconut water stays a whopping 1 star as far as I am concerned. Fix your dented cans problem, then we can talk.
