What is to drink unsweetened/bitter coffee with someone? Is it just literal?

I guess someone really doesn't like sugar :)
I don't know if it means anything in English, but if you heard this in Creole, bwè kafe anmè ak yon moun (to drink bitter coffee with someone), it means that someone wants to get even, to retaliate or straighten things out with another
