Extraction systems and methods for using same

A method for extracting dissolvable material from a solute, the method comprising:

• inserting a solute and a solvent into a container;
• operating a user interface to select one or more characteristics of a solution that is produced by extraction of a dissolvable material of the solute into the solvent;
• transmitting a signal containing the selected one or more characteristics from the user interface to a controller;
• determining, via the controller, pressure cycling instructions for achieving the one or more selected characteristics, the pressure cycling instructions including at least one of a target number of pressure cycles, a pressurization time corresponding to a duration of a pressurization period during which pressure in the container increases to a target pressure level, a target pressure level dwell time for which pressure in the container is maintained at the target pressure level, a depressurization time corresponding to a duration of a depressurization period during which the pressure in the container decreases from the target pressure level to a resting pressure level less than the target pressure level, and a resting pressure level dwell time for which the pressure in the container is maintained at the resting pressure level;
• and
• transmitting the pressure cycling instructions to a pressure regulator to enact at least one pressure cycle within the container, the pressure cycle at least partially assisting in the extraction of the dissolvable material of the solute into the solvent to produce the solution having the one or more selected characteristics, each pressure cycle including the pressurization period to the target pressure level and the depressurization period from the target pressure level to the resting pressure level.
