The idea is to add organic matter to our sandy clay soil.
Read my earlier post.
You will find charts on the internet that will tell you how much organic matter your need to add to improve your soil. Un-used coffee, even the cheap stuff is far too expensive for this use as it is like 3.00 a pound and you will need like one pound per sq foot of lawn. You can save your own coffee grounds. Starbucks used to save the used grounds for gardeners. Perhaps, a restaurant you patronize would save them for you.
Manure is the traditional stuff and it is far less costly than coffee unless you can get used coffee grounds for free and don't mind the labor of picking them up. As to manure. The one with it's own ad campaign and jingle is $5.00 for 50 pounds-gift wrapped-it is practically odorless. You can also get manure for free. You will need to age it AND HOPEFULLY YOU DO NOT LIVE ANYWHERE NEAR ME AS IT DOES STINK
