Moving out soon, and the only thing to my name is a rice cooker and coffe machine.
What are some essential kitchen equipment?
Food.
A sieve is good
And thin stainless steel bowls

Knife block
A knife. A cutting board. Two pots. Two pans. A baking tray. A thermometer.
Literally all you need.

Oh, and a couple of stainless steel bowls.

I have a knife block/set from Sabatier, but given that the average person (like me) doesn't maintain their knives I would just say save some money and go for the cheap stuff.
Just make sure they're made of metal.

With the sieve and bowls, just get anything. Doesn't matter, they're all the same
For knives, get the ones in your photo.
Chopping board, just make sure it's wood/plastic. Beyond that it doesn't matter.
Two stainless steel saucepans, one cast iron skillet, one teflon pan.
No thermometer needed, dunno why that guy said that.

The only thing you need to worry about when it comes to a knife block is wether it could potentially damage your knives. I got a wooden one for christmas which had a stainless steel strip placed in such a way that the base of the blades would rest against it. Completely retarded design. I'd personally go for one of those magnetic plank things you put on the wall.
As for bowls, I prefer the rounded ones to the flat-bottomed, but either is good. You can buy them pretty much anywhere that sells kitchen supplies and they're never expensive.
Don't worry about brands.

>Frying pan/Skillet
>a saucepan
>a large pot
>At least one knife (Paring and chefs is better, bread knife abonus)
>seive
>wooden spoon
>spatula
>bowls for mixing and for storing food (try pyrex with lids as they double as an ovenproof dish)
>a set of cutlery for eating
>plates, bowls for eating out of.
>baking tray
>cutting board
>kettle is optional as you have a coffee machine
I consider this the bare minimum if you want to implement most cooking techniques.

Forgot to add a whisk can do wonders although it is not necessarily essential for most home cooking.

refrigerator

And a freezer.
