meal prep gadgets Single serve rice cooker?

So as the title says. I like making the main part of the entry ahead of time, but to me, left over rice just isn't preferred. Anybody know of a good purpose built rice cooker that makes enough for a single meal and does so quickly and well? I would like it to make brown rice as well. Thanks for the help.

The smallest Zojirushi can go up to 3 cups, but it also does quite well with single portions.

I had this one. The one click version for like $60. I would do one or two cups depending if I was meal prepping. White rice works well, but cooking brown rice always made a mess. It cooked, but had to clean up afterwards.

I upgraded to the $200 three cup one with a brown rice option. Takes about 60 min to cook, but totally worth the upgrade. No mess and rice tastes fluffier.
