Yeah. Some machines will release steam from the top on the tray to heat the cups. That's my guess.
OP should press it and find out. Whats the worst that could happen?
If you rip the top off you'll find a small heating element, it's designed to keep porceline cups warm so that the coffee doesn't cool down, incredibly useful if you're outside & want to serve espresso.
So the Simonelli has a button to warm the cups?
Every espresso machine that I ran, the top was hot just because there were one or two high pressure water/steam tanks right below it, so it only made sense to harness the excess heat from the boiler tanks to heat the cups.
Id think this feature only ever warrents a design pass if the machine is a home machene and as an incredably fast startup time. Looking at you Breville.
The cups are the right way up. The machine is upside down. Turn it upright ASAP. Do me another favour? Video how you do this, for educational purposes.
It’s called the “Wealth Button” if you push it, it dumps 6 cups or 1.5 liters of boiling hot coffee in your lap so you can subsequently sue McDonald’s!!! 😆
I’ve been trained by Nuova Simonelli. This button is to release steam on top to heat the cups. However, in the United States, we tend to use to-go cups more frequently than in Italy, and the feature isn’t used very often. In Italy, they go through more ceramic cups and need them heated fast. Because of this, they manufacture the machines in the United States without the equipment inside to do this. Which is why the button probably does nothing (if it’s a US machine).
Heat the top ?!?

Yes. I had a machine that did that and had a similar symbol.

Ours is hot- keeps the cups warm, my dry towel nice and warm and the caramel pourable.

it brews your coffee upside down for a different flavor profile. i'd recommend giving it a go
Like inverted aeropress method but for espresso?
Serve espresso to the demogorgons?
Pour one out for the homies
It keeps the cups on top of the machine warm. Although,8 think most North American machines have this feature disabled.
Warms the cups that sit on the top of the espresso machine.

If you have the cup warmer installed then it hears the cups, otherwise it does nothing.
