I believe that the Brunswick east project still do it - I think it's a great idea as long as you use a double shot as standard and the bowls aren't massive - they were all the rage in NZ in the mid 90's!

Yes, I remember that was the standard 'latte' in NZ n the early '90's; i.e. they didn't do a latte 'glass' at all; I remember it wasn't as bad [diluted] as it sounds - at least in the place I had it - they used to make it with a double-shot as standard, which meant it still had a fair bit of body/flavour. Am not sure where things are on that now tho. A

It was late 90s I experienced it in NZ.

The bowl thing reminds me of the Betty-Blue that was served as a Latte in an oversized mug. Forget the coffe chain that did it but you had to LOVE a big milky coffee to survive one.
