This is the answer to the question How many outlets should be in the kitchen?
Revision 1
Plan which appliances (coffee maker, food processor, blender, cell phone charging station, etc.) will be in a particular location at all times. There's a different outlet for each piece plus a free outlet. Then check which areas of the countertop do not yet have outlets and distribute them accordingly.
Don't forget to provide an outlet for a hand blender a good distance to the right and left of the cooktop. And so on.
For example, I have 5 outlets in one particular place, because I installed there all the free machines in the wall from the appliances: kettle, food processor, ice maker, refrigerator connection.
Flat layout, like 2 outlets in every corner... you can bet, there will always be at least one place that will be missing an outlet later, and you will always have to reconnect electrical appliances.
