Delonghi ECAM23210SB - Slow drip / pump struggling!

A few days ago, I accidentally put grounds in the top hatch while it was in rinse mode (when it warms up water after turning it on and performs a rinse cycle if necessary).

It then threw a couple error codes. Over the previous couple days, I have repeatedly cleaned it out. This includes looking inside and pulling all grounds out of every little nook & cranny with the brush, and rinsing the __ a few times. At this point, it appears to be 100% clean.

When I first made my mistake, it wouldn't spit any water out of the nozzles. Now, it DOES! Unfortunately, it is a very slow drip.. It takes at least double the time it did before to fill up a cup of the same size. This led me to believe there could be a clog in the water line but I could not see any after taking off the side panels.

Any ideas what could be the problem at this point?
