says that the small black button , when pushed, could increase the level of steam so you can make a cappuccino in a more fast way, any report about this function? as i said before, i didn't see any other Cremina with that button..

Interesting button. Never seen one on a Cremina. Must have been added. . Maybe it bypasses the pressurestat to add a little extra temp. for steaming. Very interesting idea.

Caboom interesting :-) like getting boiler to explode. If it is that it's safety risk.

For those who would forget to take their finger off the button a superautomatic may be a better/safer choice. ;-)
