Not translating du to some

In the test above, for the translation of "Marie achète du café.", I chose "Marie buys some coffee", due to the lesson above. However, the correct answer is "Marie buys coffee". Why is this?

This question relates to:French lesson "Du/de la/de l'/des = Some/any (French Partitive Articles)"
