[Robert Macy]

Rich Webb, et al

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!

What is the best way to reseal this junction, but preserve
the requirement that the liquid in contact will be consumed
by humans?

Silicone adhesives, as far as I know, are not particularly toxic in the
first place, and I doubt a properly cured bond would leach.

Can food be placed in contact if I use superglue? Doubt it, but need
confirmation.

Superglue isn't stable. It can be weakened simply by contact with water.

I'm inclined to agree with the poster who suggested buying a new pot.

not an option

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?

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.
