In the byzantine tradition we almost always receive under both species, because the bread and the wine are mingled, in the chalice. Generally the only time a person receives under “one” species is when they are an infant, and cannot yet consume the bread, so a drop or two of the wine is places on the babies lips.
But either way, under both species, or two you are receiving communion and neither way is a duplications (of course in the byzantine tradition we receive both at the same time, because they are mingled).
