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.
When Roosevelt walked by the Maxwell House booth, Joel Cheek thrust a cup of his coffee at the President â who promptly drained it in one gulp. Setting down the empty cup, Roosevelt turned to the people around him and declared that this coffee was âgood to the last dropâ â thus giving Maxwell House Coffee this 99-year-old advertising slogan, that helps sell it to this day.
