Coffee expert asked to guess difference between cheap and expensive coffee

I have to admit that right now in my life, I value expedience over quality. I used to have (mental) time for an aeropress and I love the coffee from it, but much of my daily coffee is from a Flavia machine at work. It’s tolerable, but it’s fast and free. (Until they finally get around to closing this office.)

I’ll still make pour-over at home occasionally for a treat. Though with no scale, no temperature control (just water off the boil a bit) and I generally grind beans at the store as I’ve not found any grinder that doesn’t make a mess from static electricity that I’m willing to pay for. (Or doesn’t require more cleanup time than I spend drinking the coffee.)
