Can you re-use coffee grounds? I thought I read somewhere that you can use them the next day or something like that?

I've added a scoop (or whatever was left in the coffee bag) to the old grounds to brew a new pot before, but it was pretty weak and not very good. Maybe if you have enough for a couple of fresh scoops to add and don't mind the strength it could work in a pinch.

I haven't tried it but I like my coffee strong so I don't know if I'd like it.

Once grounds have been hit by water, they taste awful. Roasted coffee 'rusts' really quickly.

However, used coffee grounds are a wonderful addition to the garden. A couple of years ago, I would save my grounds in a bucket - paper filter and all - them periodically dump them in my vegetable garden. By the time we rototilled no paper filters could be detected and the plants LOVED the coffee.

Myself, I wouldn't reuse them, the coffee would be weaker and they do mold. The garden trick that Cookie2 talked about does work. Also, my roses love when I mix in used coffee grounds in the soil around them.

I don't drink coffee, but dh does. I save his used coffee grounds for our garden. I read somewhere too that coffee goundd down the garbage disposal is supposed to freshen the drain.

Coffee grounds will destroy your garbage disposal!!

Worms love coffee grounds! We don't drink coffee (though I do toss my tea grounds out in the garden) but you can also get free bags of used coffee grounds from Starbucks! They usually have a bucket out front and you just pick them up if they're there!

Yes I Have seen Coffee Grounds grow Mold within a Couple Days.
