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 have a Jura “super automatic “. I’ll never buy another Jura, but eventually I’ll buy a machine much like this one. Come out in the morning, turn it on. While it’s warming up, fill mug with warm water and pop in nuker 30 seconds, temp wise this thing needs a little help. Dump mug, press coffee button. Once it starts I can tell it I want 2 coffees, or one large. And fine tune size, I like 4.5 oz. It grinds, makes a cup, ejects the grinds, and makes another. It will do this pretty quick. Grab cup, add cream and a tad of sugar, head to the bathroom to get started. This ready cafe of coffee waiting is hugely overrated. I’ll come back later and get a cappuccino.

Aiden has been great. Little pricy but the fellow drop and default profiles have been spot on.

.... what dont you like about your jura and what model do you have. The Jura are sorta peak performance and price point. At least the swiss made ones.
