Why is dichloromethane not a good choice for re-crystallization of the caffeine?

How could you determine that the product you had obtained was caffeine?

Thanks!

Caffeine is too soluble in dichloromethane.

You could do a mixed melting point with pure caffeine and the product you think is caffeine.
