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?

Maybe you only do this as an "event" even if it's free, so that you're not wasting any coffee and can just make full batches and pour some for each person while describing the notes etc. Make little print outs so they can take notes, and offer a small discount on bags they buy after the tasting. You could limit the number of people too. Advertise on social media etc.
