which us president inspired the maxwell house coffee slogan 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.
