Please, get your soil tested by your County Agricultural Extension Office. It's around $10.00 and they will tell you exactly what and how much is needed to have optimum growing conditions. Guessing is not the best. They are so nice, knowledgeable and helpful.
It adds a small amount of acidity, but not a lot. The chemistry of coffee grounds also contain nutrients that are benefits to soil too. Mainly nitrogen. I agree with getting your soil tested too.

I don't put coffee grounds directly into the soil as they can be too acidic. I add them to the compost pile, and they do a great job of helping improve my compost.
