What do you put in your kitchen?

A recent guest asked for icecubes, and it got me thinking about what else I may have overlooked, so

 

What items do people think are must haves for a kitchen?

I don't offer a full kitchen, but coffee maker and small fridge. Guests should have enough at hand to make some hot drinks, open wine, and prep simple or reheated foods, so this is what I offer:

  1. Coffee maker with k-cups (wasteful, but best we can do w/o access to a sink), French press & ground coffee
  2. Sweetener/Sugar
  3. Bowls and Plates
  4. Silverware & napkins
  5. Mugs, drinking glasses, wine glasses
  6. Wine opener and saver/cork
  7. Salt, Pepper, cinnamon
  8. Ice cubes/tray
  9. Reusable bottles of filtered water
  10. Popcorn, granola bars & instant oatmeal packets (handy for late arrivals to have a bite)
  11. Knife & cutting board
  12. Countertop spray, sponge, and dish towel
  13. Toaster
  14. Kettle
  15. Microwave

@Noel63  I don't have an ice maker hooked up because of the problems we've had with them. I throw a new 10 pound bag of ice into the freezer for their use. There is probably not much you won't find in my kitchen. It' s stocked and supplied for the gourmet cook with everything and anything a cook needs.
