Just realized my $50 'coffee bean aging kit' is basically a fancy cardboard box

Bought it online thinking it would improve flavor, but after 3 months my beans just tasted stale and flat. Anyone know a REAL way to age beans at home, or is this whole idea just marketing?

Exactly, @the_jake gets it. My closet setup failed too.

Nah, you're doing it wrong. That kit needs the right environment. Stable temperature, controlled humidity. My buddy uses a ceramic crock in his basement. Got this amazing chocolatey depth after five months. It's like aging cheese or wine, not just tossing beans in a box. Your setup probably had wild temp swings. Kills the process.
