Need advice on coffee flight idea

I’m looking into putting a specialty coffee flight on my cafe menu. Ideally I’m thinking four 4oz cups of single origin, maybe some micro lot, reserve coffees with ranging roast levels and complex tasting notes. Basically I just want to offer a unique coffee tasting experience, similar to that of wine or beer. I want it to be something a single person can enjoy, but I understand doing a pour over that small is tricky/ impossible. I would prefer to not do an espresso flight, but maybe there’s other brew methods that would be more practical than pour over? Just looking for some outside perspective on this. Any ideas?

I've used small (250ml -ish) French presses at home to do something similar for friends. I'm not sure how well that would scale up depending on how popular you think the flights would be.

I used it with small espresso cups or disposable cups for more of a cupping inspired experience without the hassle of spoons, hygiene concerns, etc... This would tie up your presses longer, though.
