FAQs
How do I make iced coffee using this machine?
To make iced coffee, fill the water reservoir and add your preferred ground coffee or coffee pad to the machine. Crucially, fill your designated iced coffee cup (the included 440 ml plastic cup) with ice, then place it under the dispenser and press the brew button. The hot coffee will brew directly over the ice, creating a chilled beverage.
Can I use any type of ground coffee with this machine?
Yes, the Salter 2-in-1 Iced Coffee Maker is compatible with most standard pre-ground coffee. For best results, use a grind suitable for drip or filter coffee makers.
What kind of coffee pads are compatible?
The machine is designed to work with standard coffee pads. We recommend consulting your product manual for any specific size or type recommendations to ensure optimal performance and avoid damage. > Info needed: [specific coffee pad size/type if mentioned in manual]
How do I clean the integrated water filter?
The integrated water filter helps reduce limescale. Depending on the model, it might be removable for rinsing or require periodic replacement. Please refer to your Salter 2-in-1 Iced Coffee Maker's user manual for specific instructions on cleaning and maintaining its water filter. > Info needed: [specific filter cleaning/replacement instructions]
Are the included travel cups dishwasher safe?
For the longevity of your travel cups, it is best to refer to the care instructions provided in your product manual. Typically, double-walled mugs may be hand-wash only to preserve their insulation properties, while plastic cups might be top-rack dishwasher safe. > Info needed: [dishwasher safety of cups]
Can I adjust the strength of my coffee?
Yes, the Salter 2-in-1 Iced Coffee Maker features three coffee strength settings, allowing you to easily adjust your brew to your preferred intensity, from mild to strong.
Does the machine have an automatic shut-off feature?
Yes, for safety and energy efficiency, the machine is equipped with an auto shut-off function that powers it down automatically after a period of inactivity or once brewing is complete.
Troubleshooting
Coffee is not brewing or dispensing.
Ensure the water reservoir is filled above the minimum line. Check that the coffee filter with ground coffee or the coffee pad is correctly seated in the holder. Verify the machine is plugged in and powered on, and that the brew cycle has been initiated correctly via the touch controls.
Coffee tastes weak or watery.
Adjust the coffee strength setting to a stronger option using the touch controls. Ensure you are using the correct amount of ground coffee for your desired strength, or try a different type of coffee pad. Also, check the freshness of your coffee; stale coffee often results in a weaker brew.
Machine is leaking during operation.
Check that the water reservoir is properly seated and sealed. Ensure the reusable coffee filter/pad holder is correctly inserted and not overflowing with coffee grounds. Inspect the included travel cups for any cracks or damage if they are being used. Overfilling the water reservoir can also cause leaks.
Limescale build-up affecting taste or performance.
This is common in hard water areas. Descale your machine regularly (every 2-3 months or as needed) using a descaling solution specifically designed for coffee makers. Follow the descaling product's instructions carefully. Also, clean or replace the integrated water filter if it's removable/replaceable as per your manual.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with your Salter 2-in-1 Iced Coffee Maker is simple, and maintaining it ensures longevity and consistent performance.
Initial Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
- Placement: Place the coffee maker on a stable, flat, and heat-resistant surface.

- Water: Use fresh, cold filtered water for the best taste and to help reduce mineral build-up.
Care and Maintenance
- Daily Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth. Remove and rinse the reusable coffee filter/pad holder under warm water.
- Water Reservoir: Empty and rinse the water reservoir regularly to prevent stagnation and mineral build-up.
- Integrated Water Filter: The integrated water filter helps reduce limescale. Periodically, you may need to clean or replace this filter as per the product manual's instructions to maintain optimal performance. > Info needed: [specific filter cleaning/replacement frequency]
- Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) can build up, especially in hard water areas. Descale your machine every 2-3 months or as indicated by performance (e.g., slower brewing, reduced flow). Use a commercially available descaling solution suitable for coffee makers, following the product's instructions carefully.
- Travel Cups: Always refer to the product manual for specific cleaning instructions for the included travel mugs to ensure their longevity and proper care. > Info needed: [dishwasher safety of cups]
