Now Ben and Samuli finished their first round, going to put the results up here, maybe not totally correct (it is a bit hard to follow, the streaming was not 100%).
Dominican Republic was no 1 in overall results in this round. Then US, Denmark and Austria-in that order.
I encourage you to go in and follow the broadcast yourself, unfortunately my connection is not stable enough to come with accurrate results.

Samuli texts and says he´s no 7 in all- only one more competitor can beat him if he´s to go to final. He´s nervous now.
12.45
On the phone with Ben - he´s set for the finals! He says it was a hard heat, many extremely accentuated coffees that makes it hard to keep your tastebuds calm and focused.
