The site doesn't really explain the standard other than to say you need a
"qualified machine" and use "qualified blends", without saying what it takes
to be qualified.

Presumably, one has to pay for the certification, whatever it is. It
is unlikely to make the least bit of business difference for locals'
cafes or even cafes catering to non-italian tourists; so their only
logical market is cafes catering to Italian business travellers.
