I really don't understand doing this. Don't get me wrong, I am all for
getting as much as you can in a cup. However, if you really spend more than
an hour packing a single cup, you have a really low value of your time. The
only time I would do this is if I had lots of time and nothing to do and it
was a social thing. Otherwise I just load them, shake them to take advantage
of settling, and load what ever little pieces I can in the cup to fill the
air. 5-10 minutes max.
Maybe I missed your point though - is it the challenge of getting the most
in the cup (compared to some record or something) or maximizing what you can
get for $13?
