The garden seems to like it.
Our grounds go in the worm composter in SoCal, and in PDX they either go out with the compost pickup, into a compost bin we keep, or straight into the garden to repel slugs. Slugs (and snails, presumably) are repelled by the caffeine - cheap coffee from robusta beans tastes worse but is probably a better snail repellent.
