Cannabis Coconut Oil. PLEASE EXPLAIN Lost 1 cup?

Put 2.2 cups of coconut oil (not solid, but not liquid, it was almost like perfect mush texture). After squeezing goods through cheesecloth for 5 minutes and as hard as I could, I only received 1.25 cups of oil. I know none burned off, I only went to 350 F for a few minutes, but for the most part stayed between 160-280. Plus no smoke was ever produced. Did I really not squeeze enough out or could the texture change have changed the volume? Please help. This is pretty sensitive topic since I put over 2oz in..

Absorbed into the plant matter. Coconut oil is too solid at room temperature so you have such a short window before it solidifies or atleast begins to, as soon as it starts you're losing oil.

Hot water through cheesecloth into a bowl. Then put in fridge. College solidified oil from refrigerated water?

I've prefered coconut oil to butter for a while now... Do what aroudtheson suggested... I would recommend make sure there is enough hot water to submerge all the plant matter and melt the oil... then stick in fridge... oil will be at top, with plant matter and cloth at bottom... Just a tip... I boil the oil, plant matter, and few cups of water for and hour or so... Then stick in fridge... And all the oil is separated at the top w/ plant matter at bottom... No pressing, No cheesecloth

Around the son, thank you so much for the method! I received a whole 1/2 cup doing so. Really appreciate it!
