Coffee grounds are very good to throw in the composter. I have had very good luck with using worm compost as a fertilizer. They even carry worm fertilizer at Home Depot and Target in recycled soda bottles. Can’t think of the brand, but last year I had better luck with that than any other fertilizer I have tried in the past!

Compost is the best fertilizer for peppers and tomatoes. When I transplant mine I put good handful of compost and a table spoon of epsom salts in each planting hole of the tomatoes. peppers do not need the epsom salts (though they will not hurt the peppers) and that is pretty much all they need iof your spil is decent to start, and it probably is.
Don’t forget to mulch the tomatoes when you transplant them. straw makes a wonderful mulch and will add good stuff to your soil as it breaks down over the summer/fall.
I would not put coffee grounds in the soil you are using while they are still in pots. Stick with the potting soil-not exactly organic but it will be best for the seedlings at this point.
