The adaptive aggregation-base domain decomposition multigrid method [A. Frommer et al., SIAM J. Sci. Comput. 36, A1581 (2014)] is extended for two degenerate flavors of twisted mass fermions. By fine-tuning the parameters we achieve a speed-up of the order of a hundred times compared to the conjugate gradient algorithm for the physical value of the pion mass. A thorough analysis of the aggregation parameters is presented, which provides a novel insight into multigrid methods for lattice quantum chromodynamics independently of the fermion discretization.
