A press assembly for producing plant-based beverages, the assembly comprising:

• a tubular filter having a porous side wall, a closed bottom end, and an open top end;
• a receptacle configured to receive and retain liquids, the receptacle having a top rim defining an open mouth;
• a sleeve having an upper rim at a first open end and a lower interface at a second open end, wherein the tubular filter is configured to hang from the upper rim, such that the tubular filter extends into the sleeve, and wherein the lower interface is configured to mate with the top rim of the receptacle in a friction fit;
• and
• a standalone plunger having one or more wiper blades extending radially from a shaft, the one or more wiper blades having a peripheral shape conforming to an inner shape of the tubular filter, such that the plunger is configured to press contents of the tubular filter toward the closed bottom end, causing liquids in the contents to pass through the porous side wall.
