6- Next fold the coffee filter into four sections. Then fold the four sections into one pizza pie like piece. After that take the filter and separate from the center until it looks like a funnel. Place that in the funnel and pour the water from the cylinder into the funnel. Make sure the beaker is underneath to catch the water.
