Coffee beans are acidic. Brewed coffee is acidic. The spent/used coffee grounds are only mildly acidic; the acidity largely winds up in your cup. Spent coffee ground are in the PH range that most plants do well in. That's before we get around to mixing them into soil directly or into a compost heap where their effect is going to be even smaller.


Thats interesting piece of info I was not aware of. Thanks for sharing. I personally have a PH monitor probe that I use to test my spoil and my compost. Perhaps something else is causing the high acidity then.
