which president is credited with inspiring the maxwell house slogan good to the last drop ?
A few tidbits about Maxwell House â A Nashville Banner article from 1907 quoted Teddy Roosevelt as saying of that famous cup of coffee: âThis is the kind of stuff I like to drink, by George, when I hunt bears.â Nothing about âgood to the last drop.â Though maybe that phrase didnât sound as quotable back then. Regardless, it was a big deal to have the president enjoying your brand of coffee, and in the days after Rooseveltâs visit, three different coffee companies in Nashville ran ads in the Banner claiming it was their java, not Maxwell Houseâs, that Teddy liked.
