Unless you like grounds in your coffee then do not buy this coffee maker. The grinder part of the coffee maker works fine but when you to use it with a k cup the needle doesnt just poke a clean hole to let the water through it rips through the top of the k cup spreading the grounds throughout the interior of the unit and putting grounds in your coffee. After using it just 2 times I  had to clean out the unit with q tips. Tried using it again right after cleaning it thoroughly but still the grounds end up in the cup..forget it.
