At the moment I have to tap twice to turn down the volume which is super annoying.
I just wanted to have 2 buttons on my Touch Bar like the old Macs. An up volume and a down volume but it seems apple wants us to annoying tap twice to allow this.

Assuming I understand your question, you can set your Touch Bar to show the function keys as its default display on an app by app basis.
To do this:
- Go to Apple > System Preferences
- Select the Keyboard preference pane
- Click on the Shortcuts tab
- In the left sidebar, select the Function Keys option
- On the right-hand side click on the plus + button
- Select the JetBrains PhpStorm app
- Add the app
Now, whenever you are using the JetBrains PhpStorm app, the Touch Bar should display all the function keys.
Yes, you can go into System Preferences and set the default view for the Touch bar.
- Open the System Preferences app.
- Select the Keyboard option (third row, sixth item)
- On the first tab (also called Keyboard), locate the dropdown for "Touch Bar shows" and choose "Expanded Control Strip".

You can touch the volume button and start sliding your finger left or right to adjust the volume up or down.
No need to lift your finger.
The same goes for the brightness as well.
