I just took a pic of the boilers I have, there are 4 mk 1 aluminum boilers and they look to be in reasonable condition so let me know how you get on as am confident one of these will be ok, combined with your element and seals etc.

Do you still have a boiler for X1 mark 1

 

[Suzan]

Recognizing this discussion spans many years... I have an original X1 bought in 2001 with the aluminum boiler. After many hours spent trying to extract 3 of the 4 screws that broke when we tried to remove them so that I could lean the boiler, I have tried every tool and YouTube video, and, it's not looking good. I was finally able to drill through one, I inserted the drill bit for threading to try and expand the hole size to the original, and the bit instantly broke, wedged into the hole I created. Now I can't drill through that bit because of what its made out of... I love my X1. I don't want a new coffee machine. I now have the other replacement parts it needs, but am stuck on the boiler. Also, I live in CA. If anyone has an aluminum boiler they are willing to ship to CA, you will be my hero. Thanks! Suzan

Can you wind it out with needle nosed pliers in the lands (grooves)

The thread a bit old, but the same coffee machine. I am trying to source a boiler element, not easy to find one, for aluminum boiler, I am looking at one for Delonghi which looks the same, there is on eBay
