I question the statement “fresh ground coffee is harmful to plants”. Any source to that statement?

I believe it is harmful to microbes, bacteria, and mold in the soil. But it is fine for plants already getting plenty of nutrients.

It's probably rather acidic, so it would throw of the pH balance in the soil.
