Default Coffee Grounds in Compost

I finally got myself a compost bin to speed up the process rather than my
old method of "till it under and wait".

I've read that coffee grounds make good compost - something about earthworms
liking it.
My question is "How much is too much?"
The household consumption of coffee is at least a half gallon per day.
This quickly adds up to a lot of grounds.

TIA


Get a seperate bin for those and use one for 3/4 wet garbage 1/4 coffee
grounds, the other 3/4 coffee grounds and 1/4 wet garbage.
