Перевод:

В 1873 году продавец продуктов по имени Джоэл Чик был заинтересован в кофе и придумал свою собственную уникальную смесь. Поняв, что он создал прекрасное пиво, он решил его продать. Одному из лучших отелей Юга, Максвэл Хаус, понравился его кофе, и он начал подавать его гостям; отсюда и название Кофе Максвэл Хаус. В 1907 году, вернувшись с охоты на медведя в Миссисипи, президент Теодор Рузвельт был гостем Женской ассоциации Эрмитажа в доме Эндрю Джексона в Нэшвилле, штат Теннесси. Ему подали чашку кофе Максвэл Хаус. Когда ему предложили добавку, он отметил превосходное качество кофе и произнес знаменитую фразу: «Восхитительно. Этот кофе хорош до последней капли». Очевидно, когда Рузвельт говорил, люди слушали.
