My MBP is a month old and coconut is reporting that my battery is at 95% capacity. I calibrated 20 days ago and have been through 10 cycles. 95% isn't bad at all, but should I be concerned that the capacity will drop very quickly w/ time since its lost 5% in less than 5 weeks? Is this at all typical or is it a problem w/ coconut? Judging from other threads, most people get down to 95% in more like 5 months rather than 5 weeks.
Got a tip for us?

They don't always start out at exactly 100% after the initial calibration...some are a bit higher and some a bit lower. Has yours actually dropped or did it start at something less than 100%?
This is actually the first time I've checked my capacity. I guess I'll start tracking it now and see if it drops another 5% in the next month. Anyone else noticing similar drops?
Mine is at 89% at its 2 months old with 56 charge cycles? sureley this cant be good. i had a 5yr old dell laptop which until i gave up when i got this had a battery capacity of 90%. What can i do about this? complain to apple? 
hmm..not good. i got mine just a week or so before you did. hopefully stuff will be okay and it won't drop more.
mine's down to 85% after 6 months and 113 loadcycles... but can you actually complain to apple about this?? and how?? and should I have applecare to do so? btw what is the price of a new battery?
according to mine:
current battery capacity : 6859 mAh
original battery capacity : 5500 mAh
100%
Battery-Loadcycles - 8
Age of Mac - 7 weeks
ps, i leave my comp plugged in charger all the time, except for like 10 seconds when i move and sit in bed and have to unplug it from desk and plug it in here, and ive left comp on pretty much 24/7 since ive gotten it
