The bowl, the hot milk, and the coffee might be brought separately, to be poured into the bowl by the customer. (I'm not making this up!)
I do agree that "A bowl and some coffee" is a nicer translation than "A bowl and coffee." (Both are accepted.)

Ok, even if French drink coffee from the bowl... still doesn't make sense. A bowl and coffee
???. Can't see what it means in English. A bowl of coffee
probably would be the closest English phrase to describe this specific French custom.
