I’ve looked up caffeine extraction here and other places and oftentimes it involves harsh chemicals or laboratory equipment. Yet I see all sorts of things like water and doughnuts with artifically added caffeine.

I’m actually starting to get into winemaking and would really like to know if there’s a way to extract caffeine from one source like coffee or tea, to then add it to other safe consumables.

Or barring that, is it legal to produce or buy straight caffeine crystals anywhere that are fit for consumption? There must be, it seems like the entire soft drink industry relies on it.

My doctor has told me I need to elimanate caffeine completely. I cannot handle headaches at all. I have had migraines my entire life so I really can’t deal with any type of headache. I drink coffee on days I work plus alot of Coke Zero. In the past I have been able to stop drinking diet cokes and I don’t have coffee on weekends. But quiting cold turkey is killing me. It’s not the waking up part I need help with. I have been prescribed Provigil which I am not using because I can’t stop the caffeine. I know I have to do it slowly, but how? On weekdays I have about 2 cups of strong coffee then start diet coke as soon as I get to work. I have between 4-7 12 oz. cans a day. So how long should I expect it to take to quit completely?
