Moisture lostRoasted-bean moisture is a share of the smaller post-roast weight, so it's rescaled to the original batch weight before subtracting: 10.9% green − (3.0% roasted × (100% − 12.1% weight loss)) = 8.3 percentage points.8.3pp
Share of weight loss8.3pp moisture lost ÷ 12.1% total weight loss = 69%. The rest is CO₂ and other volatiles driven off during roasting, not moisture.69%
