The use of the adverb too is incorrect in the sentence. Here, too, should be replaced with so. Although they both have the same meaning, which is a lot , they differ in their usage. So is used for positive cases, whereas too is used for negative cases. Thus, so is a better choice for this sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The process was so simple and easy to understand that it hardly took five minutes for us to grasp it."
