If just topping off my car tires by a few psi I frequently use my Zefal Double Shot floor pump instead of bothering to get out the compressor. Only takes a couple minutes.

Any of the small pancake compressors will be single stage compressors and the max PSI should be well below the PSI that could damage a carbon rim. They will also have a metered valve to set the max PSI that can be discharged from the hose. You could set that at 80 or 90PSI if you prefer and top off your wheels with a hand pump if that's your thing.
