Recently made the leap to get a relatively expensive ($60NZD / $40USD) variable temperature kettle. Being able to keep the water warm while I take a shower or get coffee/green tea at the right temperature has been such a quality of life improvement!
My favorite is the rice maker. I’ve had only perfect rice since I got it. But the most used are the gooseneck kettle and the hand grinder for coffee.
What hand grinder do you have? I’m looking for a decent one, hopefully simple and sturdy like my grandma had and used for decades.
It's the Hario Skeleton Pro. Not exactly grandma-tier -- it's got plastic parts on it, including the little dial for setting how coarse/fine -- but gets the job done. Hario also makes some wood/ceramic/steel ones that would probably be more durable (and definitely have that grandma's kitchen look).

5 mini silicone spatulas. It was cheaper to buy 5 than 1 on Amazon and at first I was like I don't need this many mini spatulas, but they're super helpful and great at scraping and I don't have to worry about washing them between jobs since I have several I can swap between. I find them more versatile than having one big spatula.
My Vitamix blender. (Same one Starbucks uses)
I use it for so many different things but the most popular item is my homemade milkshakes. Kids love them and it’s perfect for them.
All 3 of my cutting boards. They get so beat up and I hardly ever maintain them.
FYI, if they're wooden, you can make your own cutting board conditioner easily and inexpensively. Only needs two things; mineral oil and pure beeswax, 4 parts oil to 1 part beeswax. Heat up the oil, mix in the wax, decant into containers, and let it cool. Store-bought conditioner is almost always that same primary mix; maybe with a little something extra, maybe not.

Ceramic knives, fish spatula, and the immersion blender.
Cast iron skillet is favourite/most used kitchen item. In lieu of a toaster I use it to brown bread slices.
