What you describe sounds exactly like a partially clogged filter. If you're using a metal screen filter, try giving it a thorough scrub and wash with dish soap.
Note that stirring can actually make the "grinds blocking" effect worse rather than better in some setups.
Thanks for the tips. I've been using the cloth filter - any tips on cleaning that? I saw something about sticking it in the freezer, not sure I did that right. I'll try switching to the metal filter for now - much less mileage, so shouldn't be a problem.
You could try throwing the cloth filter in the washing machine. I suspect your stirring may actually be causing the cloth filter to clog, though.
Just getting around to updating. Clogged filter. The cloth looks clean enough but go figure. Swapped in the metal one and back to an immediate draw after removing from the heat. Thanks for the assist on this, could have sworn I did that ages ago.
That's great news, I'm glad it worked out!
