Abstract: A coconut opening device for creating an opening in a coconut having a tapered end portion formed in an outer husk surrounding an internal shell housing coconut water. The device includes a motor, shaft, and cutting mechanism. The shaft has a proximal end portion coupled to the motor and a distal end portion connected to the cutting mechanism. The cutting mechanism is rotatable with the shaft when the shaft is rotated by the motor. The cutting mechanism is positionable over the tapered end portion of the husk, and operable when so positioned (and rotated by the motor) to cut an opening in both the husk and the shell to provide access to the coconut water housed inside the shell. The coconut may be positioned by a coconut holder when the opening is cut.
