Hey - I’m about halfway through my first two-bag Huel order, and enjoying the experience so far. Quiet liking the taste too, which was the thing I was worried about. However, the little scoop we get is a bit flimsy, and I’m worried about it breaking. I would pay a few quid to be able to buy a metal version of the scoop, though. Is this something that could maybe be possible in the long run? Could also be a good sustainability thing, as it would surely be longer-lasting than the plastic ones? Just a thought. Don’t hurt me! 😉 ---

Definitely something they could add to their shop. I’d buy one if they were a fair price. ---

Hi there. If it’s any help I’m 5 months and the scoop is still going strong. Also this has some links in for metal scoops via other suppliers. > [@Would anyone else love a metal scoop?](https://discuss.huel.com/t/would-anyone-else-love-a-metal-scoop/1453): > > Hi there, I get that we have a plastic scooper because it’s a bit cheaper, but, when going for 4 shakes a day, that’s 12 compressed scoops which is a lot of action to place on that tiny little bit of reinforcement. I’m ordering by month, and I can’t see the scoop lasting for that long, I’d love to be able to stump for an aluminium scoop for something similar, would anyone else be interested in this too? Or has anyone else experienced problems with the plastic scoop? Cheers. ---

Well, I’ve had my plastic scoop since August 2015 and it’s still not broken yet. Saying that, I have broken one shaker and slightly damaged the other, so what do I know… ---

The handle is short and it bends. The metal scoop I got from Mana is far easier to use and makes less mess
