With the "push" method of bleeding there aren't any bubbles and you can tell 
when you have the air out of the system.  Somewhere in this mess I have an 
internet article that shows how a guy built a pressure bleeder out of a 
tupperware container by drilling two holes in the lid--one for the tube that 
extended 
below the level of the brake fluid in the container, and the other for a tire 
valve stem, into which he could low pressure pump air to create pressure, which 
forced the brake fluid out through the tube, which entered the MC through a 
spare MC lid.  Then you just open each bleeder, one at a time and let the fluid 
flow out.  Cool.   And no bubbles.
