Coffee grounds are a wonderful addition to compost.  The amount of
time it will take for you to get usable compost depends on the
ingredients, how big the pile is, how much air the pile gets,
moisture content, and the weather.  There are wonderful books in
most libraries and book stores and also some web pages with good
info.
