Why caffeine is more soluble in dichloromethane than in water?
I thought caffeine is more polar than water and water is more polar than dichloromethane, so shouldn't caffeine is more soluble in water than in dichloromethane, since their dipole moment is closer?

Why do you think so?
 
This is not that simple. Caffeine molecule is much larger, so even small charge is separated over the large distance, which makes dipole moment large - but the molecule is not that polar.
