Australian coconut water brand, CocoCoast, has launched a limited-edition flavour jumping on the popularity of ready-to-drink caffeinated beverages – Coffee CocoCoast.

Since it was founded in 2016, CocoCoast has grown from start-up to nationally distributed brand, with expansion underway across Europe, the UK and the US. The company stated all CocoCoast drinks are made from single-source, pure ingredients with no chemicals, no additives and no concentrate, and are naturally rich in electrolytes like potassium, magnesium and calcium.

Blending CocoCoast’s pure coconut water with a 15ml shot of Robusta coffee, the newest flavour delivers a naturally hydrating, lightly caffeinated pick-me-up. It has just landed in Australian stores, launching locally ahead of international markets.

CocoCoast head of brand, Janelle Russell, said Coffee CocoCoast is a natural evolution for the brand, combining Australia’s love of coffee with CocoCoast’s commitment to clean, functional hydration.

“We’ve watched our community mix CocoCoast Natural with their iced long blacks for years,” said Russell.

“So canning it for them felt overdue, especially in a country where coffee is practically a national sport. You’re getting flavour, function and hydration in one. It’s a smarter way to get your fix in 2026.”

CocoCoast is sold through Woolworths, IGA, Reddy Express, Caltex, Wholelife Pharmacy group, Flannerys, WHSmith, United Petroleum, Farmer Jacks, Common Supply, Kissed Earth, On the Run, Drakes Supermarkets, and thousands of independent stores and cafes.

Coffee CocoCoast is now available for RRP $3.49, and joins an expansive flavour range, including Natural, Lychee, Passionfruit, Mango, Yuzu, Strawberry, Ginger, Watermelon, Sparkling Natural, Sparkling Raspberry, Sparkling Pear, and Chocolate.

Packaging News

Australia's environment ministers have declared packaging reform urgent and named soft plastics as an initial priority, but offered no firm timetable or regulatory commitments. SPSA has welcomed the soft plastics focus, while Boomerang Alliance and WMRR have raised concerns about the lack of concrete action.

Economic analysis commissioned by SPSA estimates national recycling reforms could deliver up to $278m in net productivity gains and stimulate up to $2.6b in capital investment each year.

A cross-sector open letter is urging national leaders to agree on a pathway for regulated producer responsibility schemes at the September Environment Ministers Meeting.
