How Do They Get Caffeine Out of Coffee Beans?

In the first episode of a new Mental Floss series, “Big Questions,” a guy named Craig, rocking a tight t shirt, gives us some answers. If I’m guessing right, the video relies fairly heavily on this Scientific American article from 1999. It helps demystify the process a little more.
