Ethyl acetate is the general replacement in that classic laboratory experiment.  Requires approximately 4x more solvent, however.  Google this: caffeine extraction "ethyl acetate"

Caffeine from tea or coffee is an excellent experiment to demonstrate supercritical CO2 extraction, but I expect the instructor is trying to demonstrate classic two-phase extractions.

I found out today that one of our teaching labs is conducted an extraction experiment with dichloromethane (caffeine from coffee)
I would like to provide them a reasonable alternative extraction experiment with an occupationally regulated carcinogen=85
If you have a recommendation to look at, would you please contact me?
Thanks,
