Hi sounds like things are going well, well done. Used coffee grounds (UCG)are fine for worms. UNUSED coffee is very acidic and will injure your worms. UCG are just outside of the perfect PH7 but the other scraps and paper will balance that fine. I like to feed a diverse range of food. Worms like us ...

The worms are loving what was left in the bag after straining out the juice. You can also chop or mince the craba...
