....into the coffee stout?

Any way you want. You will hear every way possible. Mash, boil, secondary, hot/cold brewed, etc etc. I just crushed some whole beans and tossed them in with 5 minutes left in the boil. Worked well for me. I haven't tried every way to know what's "best".

I use 2 methods, usually both on the same beer. I add 4-5 oz. of coarsely cracked beans to secondary for aroma. At bottling or kegging, I add brewed espresso to taste for flavor.

We hand cracked a pound of espresso beans and put them in a secondary. It was a pain in the flipping ass but came out good.

I did 12 shots of fresh brewed esspresso after the boil. Next time I think I will do a cold brew...removes the acidity in the coffee flavor extraction.

Four cups of espresso at bottling or kegging. I like coffee so for me this method makes an amazing coffee stout.

Recipes 

I really don't recall. I pour 4 2 oz. samples and add a different, measured amount to each. I taste them all, pick the one I like, and scale that amount up to the batch size.

My best coffee stouts have been from adding cold press coffee to the secondary.
