<P> In 1915 Cheek - Neal began using a `` Good to the last drop '' slogan to advertise their Maxwell House Coffee . For several years , the ads made no mention of Theodore Roosevelt as the phrase 's originator . By the 1930s , however , the company was running advertisements that claimed that the former president had taken a sip of Maxwell House Coffee on a visit to Andrew Jackson 's estate , The Hermitage , near Nashville on October 21 , 1907 , and when served coffee , he proclaimed it to be `` good to the last drop '' . During this time , Coca - Cola also used the slogan `` Good to the last drop '' . Later , Maxwell House distanced itself from its original claim , admitting that the slogan was written by Clifford Spiller , former president of General Foods Corporation , and did not come from a Roosevelt remark overheard by Cheek - Neal . The phrase remains a registered trademark of the product and appears on its logo . </P>
