Moisture lostRoasted-bean moisture is a share of the smaller post-roast weight, so it's rescaled to the original batch weight before subtracting: 11.1% green − (3.0% roasted × (100% − 11.6% weight loss)) = 8.4 percentage points.8.4pp
Share of weight loss8.4pp moisture lost ÷ 11.6% total weight loss = 72%. The rest is CO₂ and other volatiles driven off during roasting, not moisture.72%
