Is caffeine oraganic or inorganic

Answer 1

Caffeine is a chemical compound found in a variety of plants. I was tought this by my coolies science teacher. Here is the source:

Caffeine is a bitter, white crystalline xanthine alkaloid that acts as a psychoactive stimulant drug. Caffeine was discovered by a German chemist, Friedrich Ferdinand Runge, in 1819. He coined the term "kaffein", a chemical compound in coffee, which in English became caffeine.[3] Caffeine is also part of the chemical mixtures and insoluble complexes guaranine found in guarana, mateine found in mate, and theine found in tea; all of which contain additional alkaloids such as the cardiac stimulants theophylline and theobromine, and often other chemicals such as polyphenols which can form insoluble complexes with caffeine.[4] by solian.

Answer 2

If you are asking from a chemical classification standpoint, caffeine is considered an organic molecule as opposed to something like table salt, which is inorganic.

If you are asking from the standpoint of "organic" or "natural" foods, although caffeine can be synthesized from inorganic raw materials, it would be a lot more expensive than simply extracting it from the abundant natural (organic) sources.
