Remember the Maxwell House slogan, Good to the Last Drop? Of course you do, who could forget? Well, it is often claimed that Teddy Roosevelt, in 1907, coined the slogan after the coffee was served to him at the Hermitage, a famous Nashville resort that was originally Andrew Jackson's home.
In 1886, Joel Cheek designed and introduces a superior coffee blend and marketed it through Nashvilleâs ritziest hotel, the Maxwell House. 7 US Presidents stayed at the Maxwell House and Theodore Roosevelt, while visiting the Hermitage, Andrew Jacksonâs estate, in 1907, was so impressed with the blend he coined the term, âGood to the Last Dropâ. Who is to argue with a President. It soon became the brandâs slogan which launched the promotion of the Nationâs first blended coffee. In 1928, Postum (now General Foods) purchased Maxwell House's parent company, Cheek-Neal Coffee, for more than $40 million. And that my friends, is my 2ï¿ âs worth for today.
