According to Natural Home Magazine, the coarse texture of coffee grounds makes them ideal for scrubbing hard to clean dishes. Start by packing the grounds into a square sized cloth, then gather its ends and secure with a rubber band. This tip also works on tea bags.

We've covered some of these coffee-ground inspired ideas a couple of years back, but the Natural Home post offers a few more suggestions worth highlighting (check out the full post for more).
