Coffee grounds as pest deterrent?

I am trying to germinate a Miracle Fruit seed and I added a small amount of coffee grounds to acidify the soil. I also read it helps to deter slugs, snails, and one source even said ants. My daughter works at Starbucks and apparently you can get plenty of free coffee grounds from there. Has anyone experienced these additional benefits of coffee grounds?
