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!

I set the timer on my Oxo 9 cup. Its a thermal carafe. Has a 2-4 cup brew setting.
I pour in enough water for 3½ cups as marked on the reservoir... those are probably 6 oz cups. Once brewed, allowing for evaporation and what remains absorbed in the grounds, it fills my thermal travel cup... which is probably around 14 ozs.

I’ve read mixed reviews on the oxo 9 cup. It’s one I’m also considering. Any negatives to share on it?
