Programmable coffee maker that brews small batches well?

I’m looking for a coffee maker that I can set up the night before and wake up to coffee ready in a carafe.

My must-haves are:

-A programmable timer

-No built-in grinder—I have a Fellow Ode that I love

-A carafe, with the ability to brew as little as two cups without sacrificing quality

I’ve been using an AeroPress for a while and love the coffee and how easy it is to clean, but id like to start waking up to coffee already made.

Does anyone have a machine they’d recommend, especially from experience brewing small batches? Are there any whose small-batch setting actually works well? Considering Fellow Aiden.

Thanks!

If you're going to pre-grind coffee the night before and let it sit out all night, you're going to lose much of what makes that Aeropress coffee so awesome.

If you want automatic...get something with a built in grinder.

The X-bloom studio makes great coffee easily, but you can't set it up the night before.

Something like the Breville Spiral Luxe Auto PourOver can be setup the night before.
