The rice thing is not beneficial no matter how many times you read about doing that on the internet. The physics of leaving your phone for 48+ hours simply means that the water will evaporate on its own.
The goal is to dry the thing out as fast as you possibly can to prevent corrosion.
Spilled coffee, I'd be inclined to wash the phone under water, assuming you've got enough in there to gum up the works with sugar. Fill up your sink - if you're paranoid you can use distilled water - and dunk away.
Strip it down to parts, towel it off, and then leave it in a warm dry environment, Somewhere between 40 and 60 degrees C. A hair dryer can provide this for you, or the oven. (Avoid the microwave)
Also its inexpensive and wont stress the PCB of the device (or plastics, like some ribbons uses) with intense heat that the device isn't designed to suffer.

A friend of mine went fishing, was taking a picture of the catch, the fish slipped, hit him, and the cellphone (an old treo 650) went straight to the water. Lucky for him, he caught before it went down, and a week later, it was running without issues.

It may be a silly story but I have dropped lots of light tea / water on my computer keyboard and they recovered but it was a little bit of milky cappacino that killed it!
