How to repair plastic seal for liquids used in human consumption?
Robert Macy
Thank you for the emisupply URL! I ordered from them, they shipped
promptly, huge calking type tube of RTV like glue
Easy to work with, smells like vinegar, sticky and cured quickly [per
instruction/description]
Best of all! coffee pot does not leak and is now back in service!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Short answer: GFGI
Medium answer: A search of "food grade adhesive" turns up some likely
candidates. This looks promising:

Glad it worked out!
Now that it's working, give <http://aerobie.com/products/aeropress.htm>
a try, though. Just got one recently and it's *wonderful* for the
occasional-cuppa-in-the-morning folks. Also quite fast to brew and an
easy clean-up.

Interesting. I have some gift coffee 'gourmet' packages that would be
ideal to use in such.
How much did it cost?
Rich Webb
It's not too bad. $25-$30. Carried by Amazon et al. I just use regular 8
O'Clock whole beans and pulverize 'm for about 30 secs or so in a
standard whirly-blade grinder.
