Dear Group,
I am interested in purchasing a La Pavoni (Professional) lever machine but have noticed that they are not certified by the INEI - an Italian organization which strives to strictly maintain the quality of espresso coffee.
Does anyone know why this may be? I mean, if La Pavoni is such a quality brand, then why is not certified to make legit espresso?

The INEI is a trade program, not consumer. The machines it certifies are commercial machines only; and, even so, any such certification is of dubious value. The certification is soley in Italy, and allows the cafe/bar to state that it serves "official" Italian Espresso.
