Coffeescript being compiled to javascript

I am using Rails 3.1.1 with asset pipeline and coffeescript. I have a number of Coffeescript files in the app/assets/javascripts directory. Whenever I make a change to the coffeescript files in that directory, it is producing a corresponding javascript file automatically.

The changes that I make to the coffeescript files are being used correctly by rails, but I am not sure as to why does it have to produce a ".js" file corresponding to the coffeescript files. Is there a setting that I need to enable/disable?

Thanks.

Nope. Producing .js files is correct behavior. That's what the user's browser understands. (Well, that and HTML; my point is, the browser doesn't understand Coffeescript.)
