I like to have a 25 minute reminder to stop and think about what I'm doing, but assuming I am, I often blaze through the "break" and only rest after a couple consecutive pomodoros. The 25 minute mark is more a safety net. I.e., if I've gotten distracted or gone down an unproductive path, at least I've only wasted no more than 25 minutes.
I use a similar approach. I find it too disruptive to interpret the pomodoro break signal literally as "stop what you are doing right now". Instead I interpret it as "take a break at some point in the next while", so I can blaze through it if I am being really productive.
