Some water (2 cups) remains in the reservoir after coffee is finished
There is a spring device surrounded by a rubber gasket at the bottom of the reservoir that I think may be the problem.
Esta é uma boa pergunta?

I don't think the reservoir is supposed to empty on these. I have a very old one of these, and mine uses a tube with a small filter hanging off the end of it to draw water out of the reservoir. With this design, there is no way the reservoir can ever be fully emptied by the machine, although it is a good idea to take the reservoir out of the machine for cleaning once in a while - remove the drip tray and storage drawer from the front bottom, then push the steam wand aside and lift the reservoir out through the front of the machine. Be careful to make sure the pickup tube is placed back in the reservoir when re-assembling.

I actually have a Starbucks Barista Aroma Home Thermal Coffeemaker. It has a removable water reservoir for easy filling at the sink faucet. The level indicator "floating ball" starts at the top when filled with water to make the coffee but will not fully drain. The coffee is made but lacks 1 to 2 cups more so I don't have enough and it is a bit strong.
Oh. Maybe try putting a little extra downforce on the tank to see if the spring is pushing the tank valve closed?

Sherry, are you asking about the Starbucks Barista espresso machine that's pictured to the right of your question or do you have the Starbucks Barista drip coffee maker? This forum is concerning the espresso machine, which operates entirely different then the drip machine.
Assuming you have the espresso machine, it sounds like you're talking about the machine's boiler; the "reservoir" on these machines is usually referring to the clear plastic water tank that you can remove. On an espresso machine the boiler is supposed to remain full of water at all times, and it will continue to refill as long as there's water in the reservoir. Actually emptying the boiler of all water and then allowing it to heat up will damage the machine.
