Another method is to just use a short hose from the bleeder to a half full bottle of brake fluid. You just have to watch the reservoir doesn't run out of fluid & the bottle doesn't overflow.
Works for me but you always get a bit of air leaking past the threads of the bleeder screw. Best to hand bleed once with a second person once you get 99% of the air out.
