A single-stage squishes the air and shoves it in the tank. A
two-stage squishes it somewhat in one cylinder and feeds it to another
cylinder that squishes it further, then shoves it in the tank. So,
it's easier to attain higher pressures, and higher cfm at those
pressures.
Not all two-cylinder compressors are two-stage.
