I had a coffee maker about six or seven years ago

dubious to begin with) I found that they were all clustered around what
looked like some silicone sealant in one part of the machine. Something
about that big blob of sealant attracted them. That was the only place in
the machine where there were ants.
If I had to guess, I'd suspect it was acetic acid in the RTV.
