I agree that its probably air in the system, and needs to be burped via the Burp/Pressure release next to the Oil/Coolant caps in the trunk, under the plastic cover.

The quickest way to do a proper coolant refill would need to be done with one of those vacuum coolant fillers.

It creates a partial vacuum in the system and then allows the coolant to be sucked back in excluding any air.

I have one (~$80) but have not tried it yet. I bought it thinking I had that issue as the car would barf out a few cups of coolant after stopping. Turns out I was over filling the coolant tank and it was expelling the excess....but I digress.
