The lab reports of coffee grounds (and numerous other compost inputs) that I have seen were in relation to the manufacture of compost from alternative materials. Scary stuff. This is one reason I get my compost from a facility that participates in outside testing once every six months. I've never seen an online report for coffee grounds with the full elemental details.
