Conclusion: The first time it filtered through half of the water and it came out really fast and it was still really dirty, then it, unfortunately, got knocked over, it went everywhere. The second time we put another layer of filter paper on top and poured the water in slowly instead of just chucking it in like last time. The second time the water came out a lot slower and a lot cleaner.
