I see lots of listings for used coffee grounds. So I did a search and 1000 or more listings came up. I clicked on some of what appears to be the bigger sellers hoping to find a line something like:
These are good for (followed by a few uses) - NOPE
So who buys them and why?

I am constantly surprised that people don't use Google search more often.
This is an easy question to ask on Google to get a clear response to "what to do with used coffee grounds?"

I recall reading, Or maybe in a movie or TV show drug smugglers using used coffee
grounds to mask the odor of Mary Jane to fool drug sniffing dogs or to cover the odor
from humans.
Then again maybe it came to me in a dream.
Or maybe I read it on Google.

The issue isn't whether you can search for it. The issue is whether you can trust the results that come up, and the answer is often no.

Though that's pretty easy to resolve with a little common sense.

I walk out the back door every morning and toss the used grounds on the ground under the bushes and trees or they go in the compost bin. Would I spend money to buy them plus shipping oh H no!

The zoo in town sells "zoo-doo" - I checked here and lo and behold, Zoo Doo, name brand in cute little tubs and shapes! Not in the quantities I saw outside the elephant playground, though. There you bring a bucket and they pile the stuff in - proceeds go to support the zoo and park.
