How do you bleed your brakes with a Motive/Schwaben bleeder?

I've done it earlier and did it with a pressure bleeder. I filled the bleeder with the fluid, took a bit out of the reservoir, pressurised the bleeder, capped the reservoir and then bled from rears to fronts.

I have read some people use the bleeder just for pressurising the system, how do you exactly do this? They say cleanup is nonexistent as it is "dry." All I know is this technique does not require filling the bleeder, but the reservoir instead. I wanna try to rebleed again tomorrow, maybe trying this technique.

Do you guys think this is better, maybe just more time consuming or riskier in putting air in the system? I feel I'd rather do the"wet" method and use the remaining 1L can that I already opened to top off earlier. This way it doesn't go to waste as I know they are not meant to be stored for long periods.

Thank you.
