Funny thing is if you remove the bleed nipples from the caliper fluid will normally end up on the ground, got something to do with gravity ;-) I have never had to resort to fancy methods of bleeding brakes, it's just down to technique.

Just a quick question as I'm slightly confused now. (Easily done I know) Do you load the fluid in from the resevoir or from the syringe at the bleed nipple? I was under the impression the syringe method was a reverse bleeding kit, so feed from the nipple?

Or am I missing something?
No,
Fill the reservoir in the normal way, and attach the syringe with tubing to the bleed nipple and SUCK the fluid down through the system.
Sometimes pay to find the high point [usually a banjo ] and crack the joint open and bleed there as well , first and last thing.
Final air can be dispelled by tying the lever back once there is pretty well a full lever
