No, coffee grounds do not keep hydrangeas blue on their own.
Specifically, the blue blooms on the hydrangea are the result of the plant being able to take aluminum from the soil into the roots. Aluminum has to be in soluble form for plant root intake. A soil that is too dry impedes adequate aluminum intake and therefore proper blue blossoming. Coffee grounds work to retain moisture in soil.
