Legend has it that in 1907 President Teddy Roosevelt visited Maxwell House, the prestigious Nashville hotel and after finishing a cup of their namesake coffee, he declared it was, good to the last drop.. At least that is what Maxwell House Coffee Company advertised in 1920. While legends are romantic they are rarely accurate.
During this visit, he was served Maxwell House coffee, and he reportedly said that it was âgood to the last drop.â Owners Leon T. Cheek and John Neal heard President Rooseveltâs bold statement, and they adopted it as their corporate slogan. Itâs a nice story, but itâs one that has never been historically proven.
