Britta's charcoal filters

as I recall you're supposed to let the soak for a while, and then
discard the first batch of water.

That instruction is about aesthetics, not toxins.

Well, yes, that's true. We don't know that drinking charcoal is bad
for you. It's good for cooking with. But the original OP was asking
about the charcoal appearing in the water. I think it just happens
with all of those types of filters until they've been used a few
times.
