Hi Becca, thanks for the comment. As you mentioned in your note, coconut oil is liquified at 74 - 76 degrees, so it can vary greatly on where you live, how warm your house is, etc. It's not the brand of the coconut oil, it's just the nature of the product. In my kitchen, especially during the summer, coconut oil is liquified and I have noticed the same thing for many of the other kitchens I have visited. Butter on the other hand has a higher melting point, about 90 - 95 degrees, so when it's at room temperature, it will be soft. We wanted to make sure this test was as straightforward as possible, so keeping all the fats at the same temperature was important. Hope that helps! - Alyssa
