I did a fair amount of poking around with this issue and found the following combination of suggestions to work for me.
I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, Homestead 2.0 and install all my projects in a "code/project name" directory

Seems the main reason for NPM not working on Windows machines is it runs up against the file name character limit in Windows even though
you are installing on your vagrant/homestead box.

First I added this to my homestead.rb file:

config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb| vb.customize ["setextradata", :id, "VBoxInternal2/SharedFoldersEnableSymlinksCreate/v-root", "1"]

What you need:
1 liter French Press
Coffee
Filtered (I prefer filter/ionzied water)
Filter and filter basket (optional)
Glass storage container

Process:
Measure 1 and 1/3 cup of ground coffee (I normally do a scant measurement) into the french press
Fill with water
