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.
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.
