Why is water able to flow upwards through a coffee filter?
[tex]\huge\mathcal{ \: \: ANSWER \: \: }[/tex]
This is known as adhesion. When there is more adhesion than cohesion (or when the water molecules stick the surrounding surfaces more than each other), capillary action occurs, causing the water molecules to move up or across the surface.
