CC Station Noord

CC Station Noord is a Coffeecompany branch located in Amsterdam-Noord. The shop is situated at Termini 173, 1025 XM Amsterdam, on the station square in the Centrumgebied Noord. According to public location data, the spot is nestled between the metro/bus station and the Stadsloket. This places the bar right in the heart of a transit hub, where passersby, commuters, and locals converge.

Public sources date the opening of CC Station Noord to April 2022. An official teaser on Instagram announced that the location would open “from April”. Shortly thereafter, the industry publication Misset Horeca reported on April 21, 2022, that the Coffeecompany branch on Termini had opened the previous week. This report placed the shop within a cluster of Albron concepts at the same site.

Public sources contain no records regarding the specific founders of CC Station Noord. However, the origins of the Coffeecompany brand are well-documented. According to company information, the first branch opened in 1996. The same source attributes the original concept to “KoffieDick”s passion for coffee and Rick, who experienced the urban coffee ritual in New York and London. Other public reports link these names to Dick de Kock and Rick Bekkema.

That brand story helps clarify the positioning of CC Station Noord. Coffeecompany describes coffee as part of a daily, urban rhythm and aims to showcase the versatility of the brew. At the store level, this takes the form of a location that supports both grab-and-go and stay-in options. The official page mentions a long communal table and a terrace. The concept thus blends speed and leisure, perfectly suited to its location at a station.

The documented roaster behind the selection is Coffeecompany itself. The company reports that since 2013, part of its range has been roasted in its own roastery in Amsterdam-Oost. This roastery supplies both the shops and direct customers. For CC Station Noord, this means the branch is part of a chain where roasting and sales are partially integrated in-house.

For filter coffee, Coffeecompany lists the Aeropress as the preferred method. Public brewing information further states that all filter coffees within Coffeecompany are prepared using an Aeropress. The same overview also mentions the cafetiere, Chemex, and pour-over or drip as brewing methods. However, public information regarding a location-specific menu for CC Station Noord is unavailable. Consequently, it is impossible to determine which specific selection is permanently offered at this location.

The brand’s general beverage pages do provide an idea of the menu the branch operates within. This includes the flat white, cortado, and iced latte. The iced latte is described as espresso with ice and milk. The cortado consists of espresso with milk. The flat white is described as a smaller milk drink based on a double short espresso. Additionally, a public news report documented a Dark/White Chocolate Latte, made with chocolate, espresso, and milk.

There is no public documentation regarding local workshops, tastings, or permanent partnerships at CC Station Noord. There is, however, a concrete example of a cultural activity at the location. The Instagram profile of Station Noord mentioned an opening on Friday, August 9, for a photo exhibition. Encounters by barista Studio Terra Bruno. This suggests that the establishment functions as more than just a point of sale for coffee, occasionally providing space for small-scale presentations.

On a brand level, a long-term social initiative is also evident. Coffeecompany documents an annual coffee donation campaign for De Regenboog Groep, dating back to 2008. A 2023 update mentions that partner Primavera Green Coffee contributed an additional 200 kilos. While this information doesn’t specify activities at CC Station Noord, it illustrates the broader corporate context in which the location operates.

In its public communication regarding procurement and origin, Coffeecompany emphasizes transparency. The company states that a large portion of its coffee is sourced directly from coffee farmers. Other coffees are reportedly purchased through partners who are transparent about the price paid to the farmer. Coffeecompany also claims to share exact origin information for the coffees it sells. For readers, this is primarily relevant as a framework: it indicates which information the brand prioritizes regarding sourcing.

A concrete example of such a relationship is Finca Filadelfia in Colombia. Coffeecompany reports that since 2015, it has purchased more than half of this farm’s production directly from Yaqueline and Oscar Hoyos. Primavera Green Coffee is also publicly mentioned as a supplier or partner. Furthermore, the company states that customers in most locations no longer pay extra for plant-based milk, presenting this as part of making plant-based choices more accessible.

At CC Station Noord, several points remain unclear due to a lack of public documentation. This applies to industry-specific founders, a dedicated menu, permanent community partners, workshops, and tastings. Additionally, no location-specific prices, awards, or rankings were found publicly. Furthermore, no extensive additional coverage of this specific location was found in the reviewed Dutch and English local press or food and lifestyle sources.
