Looking to decluuter the kitchen a bit and looking online people don't seem to have anything out . Not even a toaster! Do they just get it out of a cupboard everytime they use it? I have out toaster, nutri bullet, magimix, actifry. It feels too much. But have no room in cupboards to put it. What do you do?

Coffee machine, which isn’t used that often as we use cafetières, but it looks pretty (it’s a retro style one).

That’s it.

No kettle as we have a quooker.
Microwave, toaster and stick blender live in larder cupboard.
Don’t own the other gadgets but if we did they would live in a cupboard and be got out for specific recipes.
Utensils, spices etc are in drawers.

I’m a frustrated minimalist

I hate anything out on display so it wld usually just be kettle and toaster for us. Both used more than once daily. I've recently got an air fryer and I use that a lot too almost daily so it stays out. Got quite a lot of worktop space so doesn't look too busy.

Kettle and Kitchenaid mixer. Toaster and microwave are in the pantry cupboard, we had plugs installed in it so they can stay out of sight. Counter still feels cluttered though because the everyone just dump everything else on it

Toaster, kettle, microwave, Nespresso machine - all fine. Bloody soda stream that no-one uses but is too tall for any of the cupboards - ridiculous. Used to keep nutribullet and George Foreman out, but now I put them in a cupboard and they come out probably every other day. If anyone can think where the fuck I can store I soda stream though I'd be grateful (it's DH's and he says it can't be led down and he won't get rid of it, I suggested his study but he firmly disagreed).
