which president is credited with good to the last drop
According to Maxwell House lore, President Theodore Roosevelt was visiting Andrew Jackson at Jacksonâs estate, The Hermitage, on October 21, 1907. During this visit, he was served Maxwell House coffee, and he reportedly said that it was âgood to the last drop.â Owners Leon T. Cheek and John Neal heard President Rooseveltâs bold statement, and they adopted it as their corporate slogan. Itâs a nice story, but itâs one that has never been historically proven.
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.
