Maxwell House Original Roast Ground Coffee

Maxwell House is a historic American coffee brand that originated in the late 19th century. Named after the Maxwell House Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee, where a unique blend was first served, it famously adopted the slogan 'Good to the Last Drop,' reportedly inspired by a remark from Theodore Roosevelt.

Today, the brand's manufacturing is a global operation. While a large portion of the North American supply is produced in major facilities like the Jacksonville plant in Florida, the brand is also manufactured in various other locations worldwide to serve different regional markets. The specific canister shown features bilingual English and French labeling, indicating it is intended for the Canadian market.

Ownership of Maxwell House has transitioned through several major corporate entities, originally starting with the Cheek-Neal Coffee Company before being acquired by General Foods, which later merged with Kraft. As of 2026, the brand is under the ultimate ownership of the Kraft Heinz Company. In certain international regions, such as Europe and parts of Asia, the rights to the Maxwell House brand name are licensed or owned by JDE Peet's, illustrating a complex global distribution and ownership structure.
