An electric kettle.

A bowl of tomatoes.

I try to keep it minimal, too many cats in the house to make sure none of them ever get up on the counters.

Lets see.

Microwave

Cutting board

Paper towels,

Mug rack

Coffee Maker

Surprisingly, my Tika, who seems to get into everything, has almost no interest in the stuff kitchen counters.

Anything I leave on my desk, however, has no chance.

Let's see if I can remember (I'm at work).

Toaster oven

Coffee maker

Bread maker (really need to put that elsewhere)

Small dish rack

Paper towel holder

Ceramic tray that holds olive oil, sea salt, pepper grinder

Fiestaware bowl with onions/shallots/garlic in it

Kibble container

Wood chopping board

Crock pot

2 boxes of Fancy Feast (haven't put it away yet)

Knife holder

Large ceramic roasting pan with another smaller glass roasting pan in it.  Might be another round, small ceramic cooker in there too.  These don't fit well anywhere and I use them too much to hide.

Then on the opposite side of the kitchen there's a small counter that has:

Kitchenaid stand mixer

Banana tree

Nespresso Pixie machine

Nespresso Aerocchino (frother)

Wood bowl w/miscellaneous stuff in it

Some change

EDITED: A couple of bottles of medications 

I think that's it. It's a lot of stuff. Good thing I have a long counter run :D

I hate having things on my counter- it's small enough as it is, I don't need to make it smaller, lol

Too much! I have a large kitchen so I have tons of stuff

Dish drainer, Kerurig machine and pod holder, toaster oven, dry cat food, tissues, Artie's medicine
Artie's dishes are on top of the toaster oven. I also have some onion and potatoes stored in paper bags, just a couple of each.

Oops, forgot the wooden knife holder.

What an interesting question. My kitchen is a galley type with the stove at the end center. On the right counter is the Kitchen Aid and a paper towel holder. Down a bit further on the other side of the sink is the Cuisinart Coffee Maker and the Keurig mini. Across the end is a set of four rooster cannisters. On the left side, there is a set of four canister jars that hold corn meal, flours, etc. Next to it is a four slice toaster. At the end is a toaster/convection oven. When the toaster quits, I probably won't relace it as I can make toast in either the toaster oven or regular oven.,

I keep remembering more things than what I listed LOL.

Totally forgot about the coffee canister (@blueyedgirl5946  reminded me) and, the Fiestaware sugar bowl which actually is used to hold stevia packets.

I might need to pare down. It really is too much stuff, then again, except for the bread maker I use all of it daily more or less.

...with the cats...
hmmm......i'll take it counter by counter --

-- one of the digital phones, a bottle of nonstick spray (this one used for the snow blower tube, to help prevent wet snow from sticking and clogging it), and 6 small plastic containers with lids which have various cat treats in them

-- the counter top convection oven, a jar of silver polish (great for quickly removing rings/stains from my current cheap counter tops), a couple jelly jars that are filled with hot soapy water (soaking before they get washed), a toaster, small plastic storage containers with lids (drying on paper towels, these are containers i use for cat food), a spoon rest, and a pair of tongs (i use these to grab stuff that's hard to reach)

-- a jar of crunchy peanut butter, a canister of psyllium fiber (for the cats, should they need it), the bread machine bread pan, over a dozen glass canning jars (each with a color coded sticker on them, some of which have been sterilized/some not yet, and lids/rims -- for the cats raw food), the new Wusthof come-apart kitchen shears and the new Ozeri pro digital kitchen scale -- just got them yesterday and they're still in their packages, several bamboo trivets, a plastic storage container that has my instant oatmeal flavoring mix in it, 3 plastic storage containers -- with crackers, and two different kinds of cookies in them, and 6 or 7 recipes that i printed out

- the last kitchen counter has the microwave, and various papers that i've been working through -- decluttering
