This paper presents a review of the potential of microbial decaffeination process using standard techniques of harvesting recent and appropriate information and data from Online and Library sources focusing on to bacterial caffeine degradation processes: N-demethylation and C-8 oxidation. These two processes were observed to be more efficient, safe, specific, and economically crucial to caffeine degradation. Various organisms have been isolated across the globe that are capable to degrading caffeine such as Klebsiella, Rhodococcus, Alcaligenes, Serratia, Phanerochaete, and
