Takes me about 15-20 second, yeah. It depends on the particle size. Larger particles mean you can press faster. If it's under 10 seconds and you don't have biceps like Arnie, I'd say the grind is too large.
Great to hear you've had a good first brew right off the bat, a terrific start!

..I got 7 in all in all.
Have you grinded finer? If you fix that up it should take ~15-20 seconds and should be good. I AeroPress as per the box. So stir, let settle, then press (http://aerobie.com/images/AeroPress Instructions for Web L.pdf)

Don't bother with inversion to begin with, it's overly fancy and doesn't make a huge difference. Make it as it says on the box and you can't go wrong. Add some good/fresh single origin beans roasted for filter, ground for aeropress (larger than espresso), and you're on your way. Great christmas present - lucky you!
Interesting, I much prefer inversion actually and don't find it to be difficult. I also don't do my ratios as done on the box.

When starting out with all this 'stuff' that's more difficult than paying someone $3 for a coffee, keeping it simple to begin with makes it less confronting, reduces potential frustrations and complications ruining the result. There's a bit of 'stuff' to learn around the process and grind. Inversion adds a few more steps (2), it's a little off the beaten track (not a lot).
Crawl Walk Run. I always try keep things KISS

Agreed. That was my approach to start, followed the instructions. Perhaps because I got familiar with that, trying inversion seemed pretty easy when I tried it and I've stuck since. Now I just play with grinds, temps, blooms, steeps, etc. AP is awesome.
