I have got a sentence.

Il faut acheter de l'eau et de café.

My question is why l'eau has gotten an articles after de but café did not receive any and if it is possible to add the article to it too.

    Are you it is not a typo? I'd say Il faut acheter de l'eau et du café. (De+le contract into du).

No native speaker but I'd say that it is most possibly a typo.

Il faut acheter de l'eau et du[1] café.

[1] De+le contract into du (search for article partitif).
