Coffee Maker Grind Brew

I thought I had the ant problem in my dorm room under control until I decided to make a pot of tea with my coffee maker. I wen to check on it while it was brewing and found literally hundreds of ants in my pot and on the inside of the machine. Thankfully none of them were alive, but it goes without saying that I was completely grossed out! I keep the coffee pot impeccably clean and it has actually never seen a filter or a ground of coffee in its short life, as I only use it for tea. I never use sugar in the pot, and I always thoroughly wash the machine and allow it to dry before returning it to the counter. Some days I might see 5 ants in my tea, and other days it might be closer to 100. Anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of them, or better yet, why they picked my coffee pot as their new burial ground?
