My two cents from a sustainability perspective.

My girlfriend and I would never consider something like this due to the high volume of plastic involved. Can you make the containers compostable?

Working on it. We do individual servings because they preserve freshness - that's the only reason we do it. It's hard for us to do compostable since we are still very small compared to your average consumer good, but we are 100% committed to doing it when we are big enough. We even have 2 sustainability advisors involved with the company.

Cool. I'm not the one who originally posted the question but had the same one upon checking out the starting page. Great idea, something I would be interested in signing up for, but too much plastic at this point.

Totally hear that. The tubes are recyclable and we are testing a programme where folks can send the back to us for re-use.

+1 for this. The amount of waste in the current model is unfortunately a non-starter for me or my girlfriend.

Gotcha!

Yeah, the amount of plastic waste here would eliminate a lot of the kind of thinking buyers you might normally get. Hope you find a solution, and hope you sell in Netherlands!
