You may have gastrointestinal bleeding. The reason it looks like coffee grounds is because it is "old" blood as opposed to fresh blood.
It can be quite serious. The lucky thing is, if you get to a doctor and get diagnosed right away, the effects are reversible. You need to get to your doctor promptly.
