I use a turkey baster to remove as much of the old fluid as possible, then fill the brake reservoir to the top and attach the Power Bleeder. I NEVER put fluid into the bleeder bottle itself, but rather watch the brake reservoir and top that up after each corner. Using this method, I can get the whole car done using less than 1 litre. Any other method seems to waste a lot of fluid as the old mixes with the new too much. As you know, brake fluid ain't cheap.
Just to add, I used Ate blue/gold for a while and it was good, but I've switched to Motul RBF600 and it seems to handle extreme heat just a tad better.
