Moisture lostRoasted-bean moisture is a share of the smaller post-roast weight, so it's rescaled to the original batch weight before subtracting: 11.0% green − (1.8% roasted × (100% − 13.6% weight loss)) = 9.4 percentage points.9.4pp
Share of weight loss9.4pp moisture lost ÷ 13.6% total weight loss = 69%. The rest is CO₂ and other volatiles driven off during roasting, not moisture.69%
