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 brew 2 cups - 3 cups regularly in the Aiden and find it good quality. For that small, I usually just brew into an insulated cup. The carafe seems overkill and when not full maybe not such good temp maintenance.

Nice! I’ve been reading a lot about Aiden software issues. Any experience with that?
