Measuring coffee

There seem to be so many different ways to measure coffee consumption and the amount of caffeine consumed, especially. What are the prevailing standards? The French program in the last post reports a big difference in caffeine depending whether it is produced as in France through hot water passing through the ground beans or in the US when drinking coffee that has brewed first.
