Drip Coffee Filter Drainage Issue

TL;DR version:
My coffee filter basket is slow to drain/will stop draining without encouragement. What could be the reason?
I currently use a Bonavita drip coffee brewer for routine coffee brewing. I use the Bonavita recommended Melitta #4 cone filters, and have used them for years with no issues. I also use a Breville Smart Grinder Pro burr grinder to grind the beans.
Just recently with a certain light roast bean I've been having issues with the coffee not draining out of the filter basket in a timely manner. I have to agitate the filter basket and it will drip for a few more seconds then stop again.
I've increased the grind size relative to what I normally do, and it hasn't improved. I've also verified the drain hole is not clogged preventing good flow.
Any ideas what could be causing this? Can the beans be roasted in a way that makes them more likely to clog? Faulty filters? It seems to only be with this particular coffee bean...
Also, any good recommended message boards that are coffee specific for further coffee enlightenment.

When that happened to me it was because of my tap water. Started using bottled water and it worked fine. Granted this was a a hunting camp in the middle of nowhere that had a pretty crappy water system. But I might buy a gallon water jug and try it

Clean your coffee maker. Monthly.
Your spray nozzle is probably plugged up.
