> Why not start by observing how they would react to a broken coffee machine?

Because you’re not hiring someone to fix your coffee machine which can’t be fixed without knowing the insides of the specific model of that specific brand.

I would offer to buy instant coffee at the local supermarket. What kind of bullshit trap is this? Do you really want to hire people by confusing and scaring them? It’s on the same level as the LinkedIn crap I see once a week.
