OK. So I understand that I can put coffee grounds in my worm bin.

My question is whether there is an upper limit to this. We drink a lot
of coffee and I would hate for the little critters to get hyper and
stampede.

So, can I just toss in the grounds from my coffee pot each day?

Kind of depends on how much coffee you drink and how large your worm bin
is. I wouldn't add coffee grounds that made up more than 5% of the
material added daily. My estimate, not based on any scientific
observation.
Since we just giving opinions without a basis, I'll say don't use more than
100% coffee grounds. I also think worms like Indonesian coffee grounds more
than Latin American coffee grounds.

Or you could just try giving them your coffee grounds; the worms will let
you know how well you like it.
