Scott Rao suggests a 45 second pre wet/bloom phase which I always felt was too long but worked fine when I tried it:

Filter (chemex) coffee bloom times - does it make much of a difference? Nearly all recipes I've seen suggest a 30 second bloom before pouring the rest of the water over the grounds, but I'm often still seeing lots of bubbles emerging from the grounds after 30 seconds. Should I be allowing longer if the grounds still appear to be degassing?
