Coffe grounds are very acidic and I know I misspelled that. A little actually goes a long way I believe. But if you put a lot in you want to also ammend with lots of leaves to settle the PH levels. I dont go crazy with coffe grounds I just use a broadcast spreader and work some in. I believe the best thing that coffee grounds actually do for the soil is increase the worm population and help decompose other things.

You can balance the acidity of the coffee grounds with a broadcasting of lime.
Coffee grounds are GREAT for rhododendrons and azaleas.
I would not hesitate to use a 55 gal drum of grounds on 3000 sq. feet. Especially if it's in fall. The winter rains will leach it out.
