How many outlets should be in the kitchen?

We are currently planning the kitchen and are almost at the end of it, and we still need to plan outlets for the electrician. How many outlets should there be at least in the kitchen? We are going to have a U-shaped kitchen. Outlets for stationary appliances are clear (oven fridge microwave, etc.). I mean free outlets above the countertop for mobile appliances (coffee maker, kettle, mixer, etc.).

We currently have 8 free outlets planned, 2 in each corner. What do you say, are 8 outlets enough or should we use a few more? Should all the available outlets in the kitchen have their own circuit?
