Christine, here is a definition of tapioca:

A starchy substance extracted from the root of the
CASSAVA plant. It's available in several forms including
granules, flakes, pellets (called pearl tapioca ) and
flour or starch. The most widely available forms are
tapioca flour (also called cassava flour ) and pearl
tapioca. The flour is used as a thickening agent for
soups, fruit fillings, glazes, etc., much like
CORNSTARCH. Pearl tapioca is used mainly to make
pudding...

Real pearl tapioca makes a pudding that resembles a bowl of closely-packed little fish eggs (which no doubt is why I recommended throwing it in the fishpond, "where it belongs")-- or spider eggs, as your daughter has suggested.

And no, unfortunately, I do not know how my mother made the pudding with coffee. Suggest she just drizzled some into the pot. (??)
