They are good "fertilizer" just like any other kitchen scraps. Add them to your compost. They are popular, because nearly everyone produces coffee grounds from their kitchen, and one thing they do have over many other kinds of kitchen scraps is that they are acidic. If your soil is base to alkaline, this can be a great help. You can sprinkle them directly around the ground of any plants that are acid-loving, rather than add to your compost. If your soil is already acidic, you do not want to add coffee grounds.

The caffeine in coffee is toxic to insects, so yes, it would *sorta* repel all bugs, but caffeine is water soluble, so it will dissipate quickly. It's basically better to make a stiff black tea and then spray your plants with that if you want to shoo bugs away temporarily.
